Finally, something to replace the void left by Six Feet Under!

Wow, I'm so excited! The pilot aired tonight and it was fantastic. Since I'd only seen the previews very recently, I wasn't sure of the plot and didn't have much time to build any anticipation over the content. But seeing that Eddie Izzard was playing the lead, I knew that I HAD to check it out. So glad I did, and thankful that considering the lack of pre-show advertising, I didn't miss it altogether.

I don't think it would be a spoiler to say that the premise is based on a gypsy family (travelers) that decide to make an effort to "go straight" and live the "american dream" by seizing an opportunity that presents itself without warning. Like Six Feet Under, the show's content is comprised of many genre's (drama, comedy, adventure, sarcasm, etc). It has exquisite casting with great chemistry, and enough quirkiness to keep you guessing.

If you've been missing the quality and uniqueness of entertainment that SFU provided, you should not be disappointed in this new series.
