I've been so curious about this show ever since I've heard about it and those DirectTV bozos cut off my HBO subscription and left me with Cinemax, Starz, Encore, Showtime, The Movie Channel & FLIX. I would get it, but looking at that price and the economic state America's in, I would have to be compeletely deranged to get it at a price close to that SRP.

Don't have HBO, but I'm hearing good things about this series. Only HBO would be ballsy enough to take a chance on a TV show set in Africa. And Stringer Bell from The Wire himself, Idris Elba, makes a notable guest appearance in the pilot episode. Might take a chance and blind buy......
also the pilot was the last thing directed by the late Anthony Minghella
Watched an episode of this in my electronic media writing course. It was a good episode, and I'd love to check out the rest of the series.
