A diverse soundtrack, other songs used include "Tic" by Kava Kava and songs from Tv On The Radio, Muse, Buddy Guy, Kasabian and the Yardbirds. This unique dramatic series is the result of a collaborative effort between writers David Milch and Kem Nunn, whose novels have been termed surf noir. “ John From Cincinnati ” jumps the border between everyday reality and the humanity that exists beyond it. Set in Imperial Beach, John From Cincinnati concentrates on three generations of a Southern California surfing dynasty. Mitch Yost (Bruce Greenwood, Thirteen Days) is a sports legend, embittered and full of self-loathing in the wake of a career-ending knee injury. His son, Butchie Yost (Brian Van Holt, “Threshold”), is doing his best to carry on dad’s legacy—the bad one—throwing his life away on drugs and self-destructive behavior. Butchie’s young son Shaun (newbie Grayson Fletcher), however, is a nice, quiet kid with an innocent love for the sport of surfing. He’s also, barely in his teens, on the verge of turning pro—something dad and granddad are terrified of. Surrounding this dysfunctional trio is an odd cast of characters including Rebecca De Mornay (in a fierce comeback) as Mitch’s estranged wife, Ed O’Neill (“Married ... With Children”) as a bird-collecting ex-cop and Austin Nichols (“Surface”) as a mysterious naif named John (he of the title) who wanders into the scene oblivious of ... well, pretty much everything. Like Peter Sellers in Being There, John only seems capable of repeating what others around him say and do. He is, however, blessed with the ability to pull whatever he wants from his pockets, and on the few occasions he does spout original dialogue, it is full of apocalyptic portent. (“The end is near,” being a favorite.) And then, of course, there are the random miracles floating around (literally in some cases). Mitch seems to have the random ability to levitate, and Shaun is at the center of several life-and-death impossibilities. The New York Times writes " HBO offers up quite a peculiar and novel original series on surfing as unearthly pleasure and life-sapping addiction. A smart, ambitious series that moves unusual characters around an unfamiliar setting imaginatively and with grace ...and brings a magical realism to surfing.
