I don't know how you feel about HBO original series, but I think they've hit it out of the park with shows like
Entourage,
Flight of the Conchords,
East Bound & Down and
Curb Your Enthusiasm. It looks like they're trying to top themselves yet again with the new comedy series
Bored to Death, starring
Jason Schwartzman.
Schwartzman plays a writer who decides to moonlight as a private detective on the basis that he's read many novels about it. I'll reserve judgement until I see an episode, but the
trailer shows some promise - and it doesn't hurt that it also features
Zach Galifianakis from
The Hangover (which I still really need to go see) and
Ted Danson.
