T.V. Drama - Huff

This is one of the most amazing dramas I have ever seen.

The writing is AMAZING, STUPENDOUS, MAGNIFICENT AND BRILLIANT.

This is a MUST watch show - but I think it's only available on HBO or Showtime or one of those satellite channels.

The show stars Hank Azaria of the Simpsons and he is a brilliant dramatic actor. He plays a psychiatrist. Oliver Platt is also fabulous as a druggie lawyer and Azaria's best friend. I could go on and on about the other great characters as well.

This is BY FAR the best drama (an intense drama at times) I have seen in about 10 years.

I give this series a 10/10 and if you read my movie reviews I have never given anything a 10/10. This show is pure perfection and I hope it continues.

Has anyone else seen it?

Chris and I are OBSESSED with Huff. We downloaded every single episode and watched them all. Oliver Platt is insane, I am in love with Hank Azaria, Blythe Danner is SO believable. I can't wait for next season!!!! My favourite show for sure.

I too loved Huff,Blythe Danner is excellent as was Hank Azaria and the brother(forgot the name).
I say WAS,because we cancelled the Movie Channels and of course lost Huff too:sad:
Otherwise the TMN showed nothing but junk,not worth the extra money!!

Huff is one of my favorites.
I have two illeco PVR's and it is the only show I tape on both units so I can watch it either upstairs in the living room or downstairs in the basement.

The show is crazy with wild things happening. And Russel's characther is crazy !!!!

I just heard they are cancelling Huff due to low ratings - I can't believe it.

I can't believe it. Showtime cited low ratings - but I wonder if there wasn't political pressure - due to some of the show's subject matter.

I can't believe it. Did I say that.

I just watched another episode tonight. AMAZING.

I now believe it is my favourite drama of ALL TIME....and they cancelled it.

I can't believe it. :sad:

They always cancel the stuff that has some meat to it. Like Commander and Chief great cast good story cancelled. But start writing the networks this has saved shows from cancellation hell. I work in this biz and if nobody says anything they figure it is not worth trying to revive it. Suggest more advertising to get it out there. Believe it or not they do read these letters and when they get enough they will rethink there decisions sometimes, worth the email. Best to write the station and when you watch get the production companies and write them all.

I JUST saw the series finale the other day. - AMAZING.

I highly recommend renting the series on DVD if/when it comes out.

I stand by my original comment: Best drama I have ever seen. 10/10.

Huff
