MrsM wanted to watch the show, she heard and read a lot about it.

1/2 hour episodes, so we watched

Very strange, but actually came together in the last few episodes.

At first I thought that it was going to be pure porn ( I have nothing against porn, but can do with, or without, it.

I'm curious if any of you watched and what you think about the show??

I assume you mean "I Love Dick" with Kevin Bacon?

I watched 3-4 episodes and gave up. I think its very well done but it just wasn't working for my tastes.

I watched it purely because I used to live near Marfa. The spoofing of the Chinati Foundation there is what made the series funny for me. Such a pretentious batch of silly people and their "art"!

So - I enjoyed the show.

That makes sense I forgot about the Chinati Foundation!

I thought this was the philosophic strength of the series, ridiculing the general pretense of a (bad) art community.

But I had a negative take on other prominent aspects.. the female neuroticism on full display, and the story was about sexual obsession (fair enough), but the nudity was gratuitous (for me)..

I think the cast did a good job, working with a pretty gross plot.
