Warrior, which just finished it's 1st season, is awesome and of course there's Strike Back.

There's enough content currently on Cinemax that I think it's worth it and not be in the mentality of getting this for only 1 show. Unless you're one of those who doesn't watch a lot of TV, then that's another story.

"How'd it go?"
"I said 'personally' twice in the same sentence. So, it sounded stupid."

OK cast, OK acting, pretty good writing...plus Gugino = above-average show. I'm IN.

(I'm getting a somewhat "John Wick" vibe from the colors or cinematography or something. Can't hurt.)

I'll check it out. Carla Gugino

Anyone have Comcast?

Shit! I have comcast. does this mean I will lose this show come July! Really enjoyed the show. Seemed almost movie quality production values and a good story line. Will watch the rest! If I can....

f you have Amazon Prime, you can add Cinemax as a channel to Prime video for $10/month (7 day free trial).

It sucks because Cinemax has two of my favorite series, Strike Back and Warrior. As for Jett I was kind of bored with it although if you've watched Frontier on Netflix you'll know that Greg Bryk does the creepy/menacing thing rather well.

cowtown

You have excellent taste. Seen Banshee?

mugwump

Of course! I started watching Warrior since the Banshee folks were involved. I'm thinking this may finally be the push to get me to cut the cord. I've been paying for the top-tier package on Xfinity for years more out of inertia than anything else but lately they've started charging extra for the newer channels and now are dropping channels that I actually watch so I'll just get an HD antenna and then subscribe to the few premiums I actually enjoy and watch through my RokuTV and Xboxes.

TheMovieman

The explanation about Comcast replacing Cinemax is lame. Also says you can add it to the lineup for $12/month. No thanks (haven't watched that channel in a long time). Might catch this show before the channel is removed, or else I'm sure it'll get a physical release and watch it then.

Kind of makes you wonder what the point of cable is, if you have to go to other sources to get the channels you want.

I liked this very much. Good action packed summer fare & definitely 'on brand' for Cinemax. Worth the $10/mo to add to my Amazon channels, for now.

I thought was ok only, enough for me to check out another episode

jpcamb

seriously considering canceling my movie packages which I almost never watch anyway and adding Cinemax ala cart for this. If not for John Oliver I would let HBO go in a heartbeat too...

cowtown

Agree with you there - it's a fun caper show, and Gugino is gorgeous. It's no Banshee, but it's good enough to stay with it.

Pretty brutal prison stuff in ep. 3.

mugwump

I must be getting old but even the frequent scenes of a nekkid Carla Gugino aren't enough to distract me from wondering why this heist show is so lacking in heists.

cowtown

Well then, ep 6 took a turn for the weird, disjointed, and stupid. Still enjoying the show, but they're making me work for it.

jpcamb

Thanks Comcast! Cinemax is now gone. Weird they did it in the middle of the month.

cowtown

OMG...Gugino wasn't even in this ep much in the first half, and it's still awesome.

Gus Fring: "Bennie, you start letting women urinate on your head, there's no telling what they'll do."

Seriously uncomfortable, unique, and interesting episode.

I didn't read my bill so I didn't understand why the last two episodes of Jett hadn't recorded....I figured I'd just watch them on Demand. I got up this AM because I couldn't sleep and tried to watch a movie on the Cinemax channel...which I obviously don't have anymore so I called to question this (before I actually had any knowledge of the issue). The thing is I still had Cinemax on Demand which I was using last weekend, but but by calling I fucked myself and they took it away.

This is a fantastic show, my favorite new show of 2019 so far. Witty dialogue, intriguing plot, great acting, crazy violence, and a gorgeous lead. I love Carla

jpcamb

I'm hoping to actually notice when they have a free weekend and finish the show off that way. Pisses me off they did this and the new on demand service is total shit with crappy movies so its a double loss.

Cinemax is abandoning original program. Unclear if this will continue.

It says Warrior's fate is up in the air, but that already started production on S2, I believe.

starseed1981

That blows. Banshee was one of the best shows of the last decade. And Jett & Warrior were two of the best shows last year.

DWilson

Cinemax could do as they did with "Outcast" and just sit on the episodes for another year. It's a shame, I thought they'd gotten their act together after the last change in programming.
