Hung

When and Where? June 28 on HBO
Who's in It? Thomas Jane, Anne Heche, Jane Adams
Why It’s a Must: There's a large shroud of secrecy still surrounding HBO's latest project, Hung, but we can say with certainty that it is not a biopic of the past American Idol contestant, William. Nope, instead of “She Bangs,” it appears as if we’re in for a heaping helping of “he bangs.” Ray is a high-school teacher who's fallen on hard times. His money is running dry ,and his wife left him for her dermatologist. With few places to turn to, Ray has an epiphany after a series of self-help classes -- the new plan is to stop playing by the rules and to let his biggest asset do the talking from now on (think Boogie Nights).
