RESURRECTED THREAD ALERT!
But it's intentional, and I have a reason, so there!:p

I don't have HBO, so I had to wait three months until I could buy a copy at a reasonable price.

I've only watched the first episode, but so far, barring several annoying minor inaccuracies, I like it! Paul Giomatti is very good. Laura Linney is perfect, loving him, supporting him and mocking him all at the same time and sometimes without saying a word.

The DVD set comes with a function titled from an Adams quote: "Facts Are Stubborn Things." When it's on little factoids appear onscreen throughout the show, telling you things you never knew.

I'm surprised that more of you who saw it when it was on didn't come back and give more detailed opinions as it progressed. I intend to.
