Has any one seen this tv show? i was channel surfing and i just bumped into it...

it's pretty strange. i think it's trying to be a bit twin peaks. does any one now what it's about

For what i can tell there was a casino robbed by a man who can't maintain his body temperature on behalf of a man who owned the casino who was just killed.

And now there are 3 nevada gaming agents sporting the worst "Mr smith" matrix-esque imitation and being shifty.

What the hell is going on?

Oh and matt damon and ben affleck produced it .

I watched one episode last week, I found it quite interesting. It revolved around an IRS agent's investigation into the town's history after going there to investigate tax dodging at the casino. It left me in the same boat as you :lol:

I might go Googling for more info.

Interesting..!

The Push, Nevada Game was the largest TV and online game of skill ever played in America (for a prize of over 1 million dollars).

This show's pretty good.

It helps if you've watched all of the episodes, as most of the people are lying through their teeth or a little crazy, so it can be quite confusing unless you've seen whats actually happened as opposed to what they say has happened.

The camera work reminds me of Serial Experiments L.A.I.N.

It started two episodes ago.

It was on tv a few years ago as well.

I'm hooked. This show is well strange. i don't know what to make of it , but i'm loving the characters.

Tax man in the casino counting cards, doing math and finding out that the casino makes a massive loss... gold.

Crazy black mr smith guys that seem to control EVERYTHING and EVERYONE ....sweet.

I read the game of skill thing you posted gruso and i'm wondering each episode what the hell the clues are....

it's not as surreal as "twin peaks" but i think that's why i like it. "twin peaks" was a bit too pretentious. this seems to give enough away each episode to keep you thinking and yet not spell it out . i likes it better then "lost " anyway , because it's irreverant.

I wonder if you can download/ buy the series anywhere...?
