I'd like them to to get rid of the obnoxious De Mornay/Cissy character. Maybe fire the Greenwood guy who plays Mitch Yost (he's kinda lame anyway) and replace him with Leonard Cohen. That might do it.
Cohen doesn't surf or act, but neither does anyone else in the show. And for some odd reason, the show features two of the worlds top surfers (Kenelly and Fletcher) in crucial leading roles, for which the have absolutely zero acting chops. It shows, and it's distracting to the product.
Anyway, someone needs to show the writers a thing or two about the art of using Christ imagery effectively. Their abilities IMO, are falling way short of their chosen subject matter and story line.The present ensemble look to be dealing with the Infinite as if they were teenagers doing a youtube spoof.
The dialogue is often tone deaf. And not in a deliberate Grindhouse, so-bad-it's-cool kind of way. Example; Tina to Linc in Ep06: "I never took a cock that big, and you handled it like a champ"
Who talks like this? And besides, Linc, we saw you full frontal in Oz. Sorry dude, suspension of disbelief can only go so far.
Maybe Rebecca De Mornay still has a couple of Cohen's CDs in her glove compartment she could lend to Milch.
