Seriously...
It sounds really cool actually. Not a bg fan of the album but they are one of my favorite bands so I would definitely tune in every single week,

"The dystopian future imagined by Trent Reznor is synergy-friendly. Some have argued that it’s cliche. The savvy Nine Inch Nails frontman tells the LA Times that he recently met with HBO about adapting the themes of his Year One concept album (and cultish alternate reality game) into an ambitious sci-fi series…

“I just pitched it to HBO two weeks ago in L.A. It went great. Ideally, we’re trying to get them to do a two-year limited series. I prefer that over a film. We would have a second ARG tying into the second album and ties into the series and they all happen together with a budget needed to pull that all off. There would be a tour down the road. The record completes the story, the ending that no one knows. I know what happens. I knew when I started it. And it’s not what people think. “

Reznor’s anti-Bush vision takes place in 2022, or as a totes-screwed America has labeled it, Year One. The government has brainwashed its citizens, done away with civil liberties and much of the landscape is in shambles. There’s also a lot of well-designed propaganda. The idea of a feature film or a TV show was conceptualized near the beginning according to Reznor, who says that writers are already attached. According to the NY Times, producer Lawrence Bender is seeing the series through."

If any network could do the world of Year Zero justice, it's HBO!

Still got my Art Is Resistance ammo box and cell phone!

I'd actually keep HBO if this came true. A "limited series" is always a good thing!

A mini series could work....

A full series maybe not so much....

Either way I would still check it out since it is HBO. However this one does have the trappings of being shitty if the wrong people are involved.

You do realize that a "season" for HBO can be as few as 6 episodes, right?

I am saying more than like 13 episodes might be pushing it. Unless Trent has a lot planned for this, it could lose steam quickly.

6-8 would be perfect.
