...think I can do network. It was a great lesson for me to know that it's not really my thing. My favorite mediums are theater and independent films. Maybe cable is the next thing that's close. I think FX or Showtime or something on HBO. I love Californication. I love Weeds. I love Rescue Me and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. There's an edge to these shows. You feel like it's artist-driven, not company driven...
...into something that could feed the oversized hunger of the colonies—Australia and America alike.One excellent and hysterical example of this is “Summer Heights High,” which was a 2007 hit in Australia before premiering in syndication several weeks ago on HBO. The format of the show is a “mockumentary” that follows life at a public high school in Australia by means of three characters: Mr. G, the school’s drama teacher; Jonah, a Tongan troublemaker; and Ja’mie, an exchange student from...

...Shield's unflinchingness, and creator Shawn Ryan's brutal writing, has made it as disturbing as any HBO drama. The final episodes are even more so. Seeing Shane's toddler on the run with him and his wife is almost unbearable, and Goggins plays the pathetic, mentally overmatched Shane like a cornered rat. Chiklis, meanwhile, is masterly. He defined Mackey with his Mr. Clean physique, but his most valuable body parts are his eyes. To the end, as his options narrow and it becomes clear Mackey has destroyed everything he's tried to build, they dart about, looking...
