tomk.Jul 4, 2007As a surfer living in Imperial Beach, where series is filmed, it captures much of the culture here. Bunch of burned out folks that still respect the ocean and all it gives. No, I have not seen John yet, but I am watching for him our at the pier.

TedJAug 10, 2007Lots of mysterious fun. The cast is hilarious! I was a huge Deadwood fan, and love JFC as well--I don't know what other Deadwood fans are complaining about--it's a *different* show; get it?

MichaelM.Aug 1, 2007Great show

JessicaJ.Aug 6, 2007It started off with such promise but never seems to get going. Too contrived after a while. Still, it's addicting.

JohnAug 9, 2007Insane, witty, and vulgar. I have never loved a show more when I have no clue of what's happening.

GA.Oct 30, 2007Hbo is killing me with the canceling of my favotite shows. This show rocked. You never knew what was coming & I loved it for that reason. Who wants some cookie cutter script with all the answers given 2 you @ the end?

JohnWJun 10, 2007We got this instead of extending dead wood? Go f@#$ yourself.

BobPJun 11, 2007wacky, offbeat, right up my alley so far!

MichelleCJun 11, 2007very confusing - boring - and tuned out after 10 inutes.

halbJun 12, 2007An interesting premier. The show has definite potential. The character of John reminds me a bit of Peter Sellers' "Chancy" in the film "Being There". Or perhaps Woody Allen's "Zelig"...?

-
BillRJun 13, 2007Pretty uneven plot. So far, the show doen't seem to know what it wants to be. However, it has potential.

LINDAHJun 14, 2007Thie show was differant from anything I had ever seen before. Just how many times did they use the F word.? After watching the show I want to visit/or move to Imperial Beach.

biffkJun 14, 2007HBO's new "edgy" drama is a wipe out. Don't go near it without lots of pain medication nearby.

-
SteveDJun 14, 2007Obviously a show like this can't be judged properly on one ep. But it had a pleasantly distant, distracted atmosphere and characters I want to learn more about. Maybe it'll turn out to meander pointlessly in an endlessly pretentious manner but Milch being a genius an' all, I'd bet he'll bring along the ideas to back up the vague mysticism this episode hinted at.

GaryM.Jun 15, 2007This is an unconventional TV show, which is most definitely a good thing. I'm bound to follow it till its end, whether it be the series finale in the far away future (hopefully) or the show's cancellation which happened much too soon. Let's hope people who will watch it will give it a chance.

LouisSJun 15, 2007Very interesting characters, but some actors are not yet fully grounded (pun intended). Similar to Milch's other work, a large cast character driven drama, but with a background that seems less interesting than the old west or the NYPD. Worth watching for a few weeks though, to see where it goes.

ValAJun 16, 2007this series is going to continue to build like a game 7 of a world series, goodbye sopranos , Hello John. A home run.

AdamGJun 17, 2007I don't really know what to make of this, but there were funny bits that were worthwhile. It's quite off-putting in a lot of ways, but I really want to know more about John and so will be tuning in tonight for episode 2.

jonathanleJun 17, 2007Some deadwood dialogue awesomness in a modern surfer town setting with an interesting character reminescent of David Lynch's typical players. Hard show to pin down but great sof ar.

AndreJun 18, 2007The worst show on TV. I can't believe HBO got rid of Deadwood for this.... So Very Sad

kittyOJun 18, 2007I loved this series (so far). Yes, it is challenging; and no, I don't understand everything (yet). But I am totally fascinated by the David Lynch (but more modern) style of film. I can't wait for the next episode. I would like to have both Deadwood and John playing...but I really like this new addition.

TonyEJun 18, 2007This show is, at least based on the premiere, one of the most ridiculous, unwatchably pretentious TV shows ever produced. I give it a 2 only because it's good to see Ed O'Neill, the one member of the cast I didn't want to choke through the screen.

-
JohnBJun 20, 2007Outstanding. Fine acting and fascinating plot - never dull with Milch.

It's only June,? but I can confidently state that you won’t see a weirder show than "John From Cincinnati" all year long.
-
Intriguing but not entirely satisfying.
-
Mesmerizing and entertainingly confounding.
