Has anyone checked out this new show from Amazon? Can’t tell if it’s goofy or intriguing or a little bit of both. Saw one clip where the main character preaches some version of Safety Rules #1 and #2 to a kid who was playing with a revolver…
COCKED is the darkly comic tale of the Paxsons, a broken family working together – and against each other – in the most quintessentially American business, the business of guns. Emotionally armed, physically armed, and in the business of arming others, the Paxsons fight to save their family gun company and their individual sanity. From creators Samuel Baum (“Lie To Me”) and Sam Shaw (WGN’s “Manhattan”), COCKED stars Sam Trammell (“True Blood”), Jason Lee (“My Name is Earl”), Brian Dennehy (“Death of a Salesman”), Laura Fraser (“Breaking Bad”), and Dreama Walker (“Don’t Trust the B—-“).
Alas, there is only one episode, and it’s no longer available. I haven’t looked to see whether it will be made into a series (The Man in the High Castle will be)
Really? I thought they had at least a full season! I only saw clips on YouTube… Oh well.
Thanks for the heads up. Since I have Amazon Fire TV, I checked out episode 1.
Interesting premise. Full bore Redneck needs the help of Vegan Prius driving brother to save faultering gun company. (could be named Colt’s but Paxson’s doesn’t have a pony)
Lots of R rated eye candy so even if the dialog dies there’s still something to hold a guys interest. 😉
I hope they get farther into a season, I’d like to see how this developes.
Interesting! Thanks for the review, KM! Maybe I’ll check it out!
That was the *extreme* readers digest version. I didn’t want to throw out any spoilers.
There is a cameo of a pro shooter that I recognized and probably more of others I don’t.
Brian Dennehy is pretty funny and has what I might call a slightly disfunctional family. Others would call it FUBAR.
Potato, potahto…
