So here's the thread where we'll discuss Tilt. Hopefully the series will have a long life & we'll have a lot to talk about!

Just finished watching "Tilt" and let me say it was a very interesting and entertaining show. Michael plays a real cool character here...eventhough he's sort of a "bad guy" here. I can't wait to see next week's where we get to see Michael's daughter...it's gonna be different to see Michael was a daughter, cause he always has sons. Anywho...that's just my take on the first show.

I was beyond impressed with the show. I think that Nickel is going to develop into a very interesting character as the show progresses. Also...I'm curious as all get out about the situation between Miami and the Matador. What exactly did he do to a 12 year old to make the fire of vengeance burn so bright for so long? Shall be interesting indeed.

That supposed "sex scene" that Michael was in, was highly over exposured by critics...I mean it didn't really even show anything

I was impressed w/ the show also. I thought the acting was great, esp. Michael of course. The cinematography & atmosphere were good. One of the things that the critics mentioned was that people who don't know anything about poker would be confused about some of the terminology that's used. As for me, I watch the real poker tourneys on tv all the time, so I was pretty familiar w/ the phrases & terms they used, but I could see how people could be confused with it. But the show really doesn't concentrate that much on the actual game, so it shouldn't be a problem. As for the "sex scene"...I guess they edited it down quite a bit for the actual show, b/c I've seen A LOT worse on tv before. So the critics must've seen an unedited version. I'm interested too to see what happened between Miami & the Matador...should be a pretty interesting story. All in all, I think the show is going to be great and I can't wait to see more!!

I'll be taping all the episodes, so after the season is over anyone who wants to can send me a blank tape & I'll copy it for you. As for your question...there were a couple of cheesy lines, but not too bad. And I didn't really see any over-acting. But people (critics) have to realize that it's Vegas & Vegas is filled w/ over the top characters.

Ok now my fifty cents worth.
First of all, Bravo to Mr. Madsen for finding a show that might actually make it!!!! I thought the show was entertaining and it kept you interested the whole way through. As for the sex scene, well, if you consider the insinuation that a guy is getting fellatio a sex scene then ok, it was. But on the whole I think this show has a lot of potential. The only problem that I had with it was the fact that the back drops they use in this are so incredibly obvious to be a green screen with the Vegas strip projected on it I was pissed. They shot this entirely in Canada and made their own casino out of a warehouse. To think that after all the work they put into this (even had the company who manufacturers Vegas's chips make theirs) to have some cheesy background, well boo on them.
Overall guys, I am happy to see Madsen in a series that has a lot of potential and a good plot. BTW, Tilt runs back to back at both 7 and 8 on ESPN then again at midnight, and three am. This most recent episode will run on Wednesday the 19th, at 7 and then the regular episode will be on Thursday at 7 then 8, then 12 and then 3. So plenty of chances to see it.

well i made it home just in time to watch it and i was somewhat disappointed. i expected more, somehow. and i thought it was rather boring. not enough action in it. although it was a good show, it just was a little boring but i will continue to watch it every chance i get. i hope that it has a long life span and plus you know how i get when it comes to michael and sex scenes.... yummy.
