What if the two brothers are strong straight black men? And what if the gay guy is a strong gay black character. Chill.

HBO seems to really be focusing on small scale shows now. Game of Thrones is the franchise, but they're still looking for a critical darling to replicate The Sopranos and The Wire imo. I heard they had a CIA show in development, could be interesting.

Man I'd love a Dunk & Egg miniseries, once they finish Game Of Thrones. :wow: basically they're short stories that happen 90 years before Game Of Thrones, so it would be a new cast/characters (although Maester Aemon and that fukkboy Walder Frey are in it).
