By this point in my John From Cincinnati journey (it really is a spiritual journey more than a television show), I was exhilaratingly lost. I had stopped trying to understand or figure out the show and given myself over to it completely. That’s ultimately what John From Cincinnati is about: forsaking the rational in favor of the unknowable. John From Cincinnati at times feels more like a waking dream or a visual poem than a conventional TV series. It’s a weirdly alive series of powerful contradictions, a sordid melodrama about life’s most profound questions. It’s less a show divided against itself than a program that embodies its central split between the mind and the body, the spirit and the ego. It’s about abandoning the search for answers and giving in to the divine and unknowable.
Nathan Rabin makes a case for David Milch’s insane follow-up to Deadwood, John From Cincinnati.
This was my favorite show when it was airing, and I could never convince anyone to watch it.
