Heute startet bei HBO die neue Serie von David Milch, Creator von „NYPD Blue“ und „Deadwood“. Sie heißt „John From Cincinnati“ und wird vom Sender in das mir bislang (glücklicherweise?) unbekannte Genre „surf noir“ gestopft. Hier die schwammige, m.E. wenig ansprechende Synopse:
HBOJust north of the border, in a tired coastal town, live three generations of the Yosts, surfing royalty turned society misfits. The Yosts‘ reign and reputation, once defined in the curl of a perfect wave, have been eroded by years of bad luck, addiction and hubris. But just as things are looking like they can’t get worse, a stranger named John arrives – and the Yosts‘ banal existence is lifted into something profound, miraculous and, possibly, universal.
