I'll definitely give this one a shot just for the cast. Been a huge fan of Lennie James ever since Jericho.

 

[Enduin]

Not surprised it was originally a 2 part mini-series. The plot doesn't look like it can sustain 10 episodes let alone, possibly, an entire series worth of story.

The original was a bit undercooked. It could have benefited from 3 parts, but even then there was definitely room to play if they really wanted to expand things.

Per AMC press release, Low Winter Son starts August 11th at 10pm following Breaking Bad.

Per AMC press release, Low Winter Son starts August 11th at 10pm following Breaking Bad.

I'm actually surprised that both shows are premiering in August. I though they would both be early July.

 

[Rootbeer]

Eh, looks well made and acted but I was hoping for a show with a really strong and unique "hook" like breaking bad and walking dead have. this looks like pretty standard stuff.

 

[IISANDERII]

"From the network that brought you The Walking Dead"
That's what worries me.

Mark Strong turning up to do television, especially for AMC, is very unexpected. But whatever, if he's in it, I'll give it more than a fair chance.
At least they won't blow their entire budget on zombie makeups.

Please be good please be good.

Please be good please be good.

Yeah, my fingers are crossed. At the very least, it has Mark Strong, Lennie James, David Costabile, and James Ransone going for it.

 

[ezekial45]

I really do want this to be good, but I'm a little worried by how quick AMC is trying to fill in another morally ambiguous crime drama to replace for BB.

I want it to work, especially because Mark Strong is in it, but I can see this sorta fizzling out.

Can't see the trailer any link?

Thanks dude, it worked.

It looks interesting, I see a lot of recurring actors that played in AMC shows. I had this show on my radar for a long time. Looking forward to it.

Looks like a 1 season cancel. I love a new show as much as anyone but that trailer did not do anything for me.

Mad Men trailer did nothing for me but was that canceled?

Looks like a bunch of theaters are doing screenings of the pilot later this month. The only one I've seen so far is at The Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, but they mention that there are 21 theaters doing sneak peeks. The Ann Arbor one is on the 29th and includes a cast Q&A.

Also, here's an interview with the showrunner Chris Mundy from last month over on IndieWire.

Are you trying to tell me this looks really good? And will turn out as good as Mad Men?

Yes, It could be great. And I'll be there watching every week. But that trailer smelled like shit.

 

[Enduin]

I really want to see how this all plays out. The original mini series provides a lot to work with, but so far from what I can see there are some major differences that can really change how things go. I hope the next month goes by quick.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Let's spend some more time in Frown Town.

I think we need fewer "Serious Business Antihero Frown Town" shows and more shows like Terriers. Do you know if there are any dogs in Low Winter Sun, Cornballer?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

In for Mark Strong, The Long Firm was the shit.

I want him in Hannibal.

Visually looks outstanding.

 

[UrbanRats]

This is going to replace Breaking Bad for them?

It's airing after Breaking Bad, if that's what you mean.

I'm in.

yes

There will be a free sneak peak of the first episode and Q&A session in Ann Arbor (7/29).

I will be there for sure.

I didn't even notice that two of the main guys from Generation Kill are in this!

That troll from Generation Kill was in Band of Brothers too, right?

 

[rexor0717]

I'm finding it hard to give a fuck about another police drama, but this looked better than average.

No, but he was on The Wire and How to Make it in America.

- AMC Partners with Art House Convergence to Sneak Peek Low Winter Sun at Select Theaters

To celebrate the launch of the new original drama Low Winter Sun, AMC has partnered with Art House Convergence to offer the public a sneak peek of the series at more than twenty theaters across the country.

I recently noticed that AMC does shows that revolve around cops in a way. (In the case of TWD its main character was a cop.)

Kinda getting over it.

So this is premiering the same day as Breaking Bad. I guess I'll catch it.

BB isn't nearly AMC's biggest lead-in audience, but I guess they're banking on it anyway.

The original British version was excellent.
