This limited series premieres tomorrow night at 9:00 on HBO, I think it's six parts. It's based on the book of the same name by Wally Lamb. It stars Mark Ruffalo in a dual role, Melissa Leo, and Rosie O'Donnell. It looks good.

Thanks so much @Jordan2 ...I just set a reminder and also to record....It sounds quite interesting with Mark Ruffalo in a dual role as twin brothers...I'm due for a good series to get into again.

I was unfamiliar with the show until I just now finished watching last night's episode of Bill Maher's show and they showed the promo.   

 

I'm in.  Smiley Happy  I scheduled a Pass.

Something else to add to my watch list...read the book several years ago and from what I remember it was very good.

@Jordan2   I think that looks great.  I don't get HBO but there are so many shows on there that I would love to see.

Re: I know This Much Is True

I DVR'd this and watched this morning. This is a heartbreaking story, Mark Ruffalo is wonderful in it. I haven't read the book, but the mother doesn't want to speak about Thomas and Dominick's father, I'm thinking she got pregnant through incest or rape. Poor Dominick has his hands full with Thomas. I never understand how a woman stays with an abusive man if she has children and they are abusive to the children. Your first role as a mother is to protect your children, I know getting out of an abusive situation is difficult but for the sake of your children you must.

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this show.

@Jordan2   I hope this show will come to Netflix soon.  I really like Mark Ruffalo, and the promos for this look great.
