Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

A Disappointing Continuation

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

My husband and I loved this show. Having grown up in the South myself during the time of Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis it was especially memorable for me. Actually bought an Elvis 45 on Sun Records label in Georgia 1955. We found the background on Sam Phillips (sexiest man on TV)and his life as well as Col. Parker the most interesting part of the show. We all know how Elvis, Johnny, and the others all turned out. Who knew what a sleeze Tom Parker was, or how hard it was to get Sun Records established. Loved all the characters Couldn't wait for the next episode. The casting of these characters was brilliant to say the least. I really hope there is a next season . My family as well as many of my friends will be eagerly watching.

This is such a GREAT show! FASCINATING both in terms of the individual lives of the characters, the social scene of the times, and the music history. EVERYONE is extremely well cast. My favorites are Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart. Hilarious!(Especially when you think of their adult histories) Sam Philips, superb vocal expression of the different sides of himself, and the Colonel, also hilarious, and an education to one who has lived a sheltered life. Marion - amazing in her strengths and worthy of sympathy in her vulnerability. I look forward to every episode.

If the show is gonna portray people from the deep South, then it should put actors in place who don't have to fake the accents. I was born and raised during this time in the Mississippi Delta, watched these guys when I was young, and was really looking forward to this show, but I am so put off by the fake Southern drawls that I am having a hard time with it.

Super impressed with the first episode. Not one dull moment, great pace, excellent writing and the acting is superb. The guy who plays Dewey Phillips is amazing as well as the guy playing the Colonel. Chad Michael Murray believe it or not is excellent- yeah that surprised me too. The guy who plays Elvis has an excellent voice. If there was any justice, if the rest of this series maintains thus level, they would sweep the Emmys next year but there isn't any cause none of them are playing full on retards.
