THE first thing you should know about HBO’s new series, Hung, is that it’s not just a show about a guy with a big penis who decides to become a gigolo. No siree.
According to its wife-husband co-creators, Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin, Hung is about the fraying of the American dream and the battered resiliency of the middle class. It’s about the former golden boys and golden girls of high school being forced to navigate midlife’s tricky shoals. It’s about the lip-smacking ironies of extreme gender reversal and how they can affect the dynamic between a couple.
