Looks awesome. |
Damn you, I wanted to start this thread!
In addition to being made by HBO (itself usually a good indicator of quality), its Executive Producer is Terence Winter (an award winning writer of The Sopranos).

The cast includes Steve Buscemi and The Wire's Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar).
The US première is the 19th of September. I'd assume that Sky will be showing it at some point, thanks to their HBO deal.
