Let’s Discuss HBO’s Hung
I started watching this solely because I missed out on watching this as I was a teenager when it aired.
I’m glad I waited as I have more life experience to relate to the dark comedy aspects, especially about relationships and sex.
Thomas Jane’s attractiveness has grown on me. I used to think he was plain without much of a personality. Now I think he’s pretty damn handsome with a complex albeit subtle sense of humor.
Jane Adams is a treasure and I’m sorry I didn’t appreciate her until now. I never liked her before due to her role on Frasier and always playing sour characters.
I hate the kids. They’re annoying and ugly. What were they thinking casting these two?
Was Anne Heche always this crazy? I’m not sure she’s acting much.

I wanted to like it but I could get passed one important hurdle. Women don't pay for sex.
They took the easy way out.

R1. Please. Margo Martindale paid handsomely to just look at his penis.

It was interesting that Thomas Jane admitted he really did work as a male escort when he came to Hollywood. He's a likable actor and I wish we saw him in better stuff.

Plus it doesn't help that he's shown his hog. It's only a piglet.

R5 Tanya and Lenore chemistry was off the charts.

Anne Heche died in a car wreck in August, 2022.

OP I think his monstrously ugly spawn were there as comic relief. His wife was a shallow social climber so it's funny for her to have such ugly children.
I watched this show when it was airing and never got into it. I wanted a show where someone succeeded as a prostitute and got to live a glamorous life. He had a ton of problems finding clients and was basically broke for the entire series. I loved Secret Diary of a Call Girl with Billie Piper.

R7 That footage of her barreling down the steeet was epic.

I like him. I think he's a bit underrated. I'm not saying he's stellar, but he's got some presence and is sexy as hell.
I enjoyed Hung.

They way he looks now, Thomas Jane should play Bill O'Reilly in some biopic

Yikes, r11. Huge turnaround.

I’ve always liked him as an actor and am glad he’s gone off the gear as he aged. I watched him in the Expanse recently, and he stole the scenes he was in.

He has a one season (so far) retired police detective show set in the Australian bush that’s pretty good; worth watching.

I rewatched the episodes with Stephen Amell recently.

When he was promoting the show on "The View" he told the story of how when he told his wife of the time Patricia Arquette that he was was playing a guy who was hung, she said "Oh it's Science Fiction"?

I remember he was often barefoot offscreen.

It's been a while, but I remember liking it. Not the most incredible series, but good, fun.

Ouch. He's getting Matthew Perry neck.

I think that’s just a bad photo with a bad haircut making it worse. He doesn’t look as bad in other current photos.

I would love a reboot to see where all the characters are now.

Can you imagine how angry Glenn Close is watching the talentless Billie Eilish win 2 Oscars?

This was back when cable tv was on this edginess craze that really just meant the show was about sex. But it was actually a decent show.

R24 It shows what a joke the Acadmy is. Glen might arguably be the greatest actress of all time and no wins. Yet Marissa Tomei and Cuba Gooding Jr have Oscars. The universe isn’t fair. And now Billie Ellish has two and they snubbed the Queen back in 2022.

I've always thought he looked sexy, but the stories of him being a jackass are legion on DL.

Recently watched this series again which I had originally quit after about 8 episodes. Well, I quit after 8 episodes again because it just went off the rails. So much potential but it seemed to me they just didn't know where to take it. Terrific cast though (including the ugly kids, who I thought were just perfect).
A friend of mine was a guest director on the show. I remember her saying that Thomas Jane was a loon but not difficult, Willing to try anything.
I worked with Jane Adams about 20 years ago. Brilliant actress but very crazy and indeed difficult and stubborn. I think it's why her career has never progressed.

I always got Thomas Jane, who was somewhat handsome, confused with Mark Valley, who in my humble opinion is much, much hotter......and rumored to be much more, um, appropriate for the title of this show

Do I have to choose between Thomas Jane and Mark Valley???

Thomas Jane, Mark Valley, Colin Ferguson, and Joel Gretsch - all look alike.

Do you generally have twin fantasies or is it them in particular?

R37 It's them.
Mark can be in suit and tie but Colin can wear the Maytag uniform......
