Anyone seen this show? I watched in on a whim on HBOInDemand and it's pretty cool. It's a drama about paranormal activity, miracles, and surfing. Big cast of interesting characters, and little bits of black humor thrown in occasionally.
The titular character is a manchild who seems to be able to forecast events, create anything he wants from his pockets, and cause people to have visions. His dialouge is entirely made up of things he's heard other characters say, which leads to some interesting exchanges; "I'm gunna go bone Kai, Butchie. I might have to break her jaw first though." The rest of the cast are characters who's lives he's wandered into, including a pornstar, a junkie ex-surf pro, drug dealers, an aging surfer who's begun levitating at random, an ex-cop who talks to his birds, and Zippy the miracle zombie parrot.
Pretty neat show, the first episode starts out kinda slow, but picks up about 30 minutes in. I highly recommend it.
