the show was horribly advertised on HBO. the promos were either too vague or simply misleading (for *not* being a cops and robbers show, it was often portrayed as one -- inviting a casual viewer to watch 10 minutes then realize none of that was going to happen).

hell, I had HBO the entire time and really only learned about the show on OKP (meanwhile sitting through weekly Sopranos gatherings where 8 people complain about nobody getting killed that Sunday).
