DVD PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n John From Cincinnati<\/a><\/strong> (HBO): One of the strangest shows in recent US television is this drama set in the surfing community of Imperial Beach, California<\/a> which aired on HBO in the summer of 2007.<\/p>\n The brainchild of Deadwood<\/a> creator David Milch<\/a>, it deals with a strange young man of mysterious origin and the effect he has on a dysfunctional family of professional surfers.<\/p>\n The story revolves around three generations of surfers: Mitch Yost (Bruce Greenwood<\/a>), an experienced surfing patriarch whose son, Butchie (Brian Van Holt<\/a>), was equally promising before he got distracted by fast living and drugs.<\/p>\n Mitch and his wife Cissy (Rebecca De Mornay<\/a>) look after their grandson Shaun (Greyson Fletcher<\/a>), another surfing prodigy who Mitch tries to protect from Butchie’s fate and the people trying to latch on to him (such as a surf promoter played by Luke Perry<\/a>).<\/p>\n Into all of this comes the strange figure of John (Austin Nichols<\/a>), whose arrival in the community is a catalyst for some strange things.<\/p>\n
