All Things:HBO/CINEMAX

I watched that Scientology documentary and now I'm afraid they are gonna track me. I mean, their compound is basically fifteen miles away.

Thats why they threw that tire at you on the freeway. They wanted you to stop in and borrow their phone
 
I'm sure nothing can compare to Season 1 of True Detective, but I will still watch the **** out of this ^
 
When do they reshow the first season? I seem to have freed up 78 hours this spring.
 


THE BRINK Trailer Laughs In the Face of World War 3
http://collider.com/the-brink-trailer/

Austin Powers and Meet the Parents director Jay Roach has developed a nifty second act for his career as sort of a gatekeeper of political content for HBO. After directing Game Change and Recount (the latter of which is so enraging because it really nails how Bush essentially stole the office) he’s switching to a lighter side of the spectrum with The Brink. Granted, this lighter tone is set against the stakes of an impending World War 3 fueled by anger and negligence, but you can feel how broad it is right away in this trailer.

I love this kind of stuff but I’m actually a little hung up on the tone here. It seems just a shade too broad for me actually, but I’m willing to be there’s plenty of nuance up the sleeve of this satire once the actual episodes start unspooling. Jack Black, Tim Robbins and Aasif Mandvi star. The Brink premieres on June 21st after True Detective Season 2. Check out the trailer below via Vanity Fair:

Here’s the official synopsis of The Brink:

Top U.S. government and military scramble to prevent World War 3 from happening amidst the chaos of a geopolitical crisis.

HBO is trotting out all it's finery for what you can expect to be another ratings breaker first episode of Game of Thrones.
 


First BALLERS Trailer: Dwayne Johnson’s HBO Series Has an ENTOURAGE Vibe
http://collider.com/first-ballers-trailer-dwayne-johnson-hbo-series/

After releasing the first trailer for new comedy The Brink this morning, HBO has now unveiled the first Ballers trailer for Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming series. Created and executive produced by Steve Levinson (Entourage, Boardwalk Empire), the show stars Johnson as a former football superstar who gets his life on track in retirement by mentoring other current players. The show very much looks to have a strong Entourage vibe, making swell use of its Miami location and ensemble cast.

The main draw here is that Dwayne Johnson has his own TV series, so that’s reason enough to tune in. Though it’s a half-hour series, it looks like Ballers will also delve into a bit of drama—that’s not uncommon at HBO, though, where only 50% of its “comedies” are straight-up comedies. The series also boasts Friday Night Lights alum and feature film director Peter Berg as an executive producer alongside Mark Wahlberg, and Berg also helmed the pilot.

Check out the first Ballers trailer below, via HBO and Johnson. The show also stars Rob Corddry, Rmar Benson Miller, John David Washington, Donovan Carter, Troy Garity, Jazmyn Simon, and Arielle Kebble. The 10-episode first season of Ballers will premiere on HBO Sunday, June 21st directly after the season premiere of True Detective.

The Rock is always easy going and watchable, and Cordry ain't shabby either. Hopefully won't bro-douche' it up like Entourage.
