Check out my review after seeing the first episode 

——————————————-

HBO has finally set a date for the much anticipated new series called John From Cincinnati. It will premiere on June 10th after the Soprano’s finale and then will air on Sunday’s at 9pm after that.

If you have not heard about this show all you need to know to get you excited is it is from David Milch, the guy behind Deadwood. In fact this is the show that took Milch away from working on Deadwood so it must be something he really wanted to do.

Here is the breakdown of the show Wiki-style.

John From Cincinnati is an American television drama, set against the surfing community of Imperial Beach, California. It is set to be broadcast on HBO. It is the result of a collaborative effort between writers David Milch and Kem Nunn, whose novels have been termed surf noir.[1] The series began filming in October, 2006, with a scheduled premiere on June 10, 2007.

The series will star Bruce Greenwood, Austin Nichols, Rebecca De Mornay, Luke Perry, Brian Van Holt, Dayton Callie, Jim Beaver, Garrett Dillahunt, Willie Garson, Luis Guzmán, Emily Rose, and Ed O’Neill among others.

The series includes surfing sequences by well respected surfers Brock Little, Keala Kennelly, Dan Malloy, John-John Florence, Shane Beschen and Herbie Fletcher.[4]

The program deals with a strange young man of mysterious origin and the effect he has on a community and in particular a dysfunctional family of professional surfers.

I will certainly give this show a try because HBO makes great television and I am interested to see what David Milch does post-Deadwood.

Surfs up.
