God I remember that book. It was SO DEPRESSING. I had to stop reading it about half-way through. For a while it was a super-popular novel, I think Oprah was a big fan of it, IIRC.

I've loved Ruffalo since You Can Count on Me (which i adored) and probably have seen everything of his since (actually except for Dark Waters, which i have, i have seen everything of his that was made theatrically and cable mini-series). Will not miss...

Very believable “twin” effects. You totally buy both brothers are there together. Great acting too. Ruffalo does a great job making two completely separate characters. |

It was a solid first episode but wow was it depressing. It’s probably good it’s only 6 episodes because if the other 5 hours are like this I may need medication after it’s over. Nothing really over the top happened, I just think the overall tone/mood made me feel blah. I will watch Ruffalo in about anything and he doesn’t disappoint here.

I saw it and I am in for the entire series.
Also it is set in Pittsburgh which is cool. Oldboy you should see Dark Waters. It was a good movie. |

After episode one I didn’t think it could get any more depressing, then episode two comes along. It’s like a train wreck...I can’t take my eyes off it but dang it’s sad.

And now the sane brother or closest to normal Bro is in the hospital.
The guy who plays the Ruffalo characters at a younger age is pretty good. |

I’m really enjoying this. It doesn’t seem to be generating much buzz, probably because it’s so dark, but it’s one of a few shows I look forward to each week.

I seem to remember really liking the book, but everything about this show is so depressing that I just can't watch it any more. This might be the first time I've given up on an HBO drama. (Comedies are a different matter. Don't get me started about Betty.)

It will be interesting to see how this finishes up. I’m glad I tuned in. Although it’s dark I’ve enjoyed every episode.
