HBO has made available for viewing the series premiere of Bored to Death, its new "noir-otic comedy", nearly a week before its air date this Sunday, September 20th, at 9:30 PM (ET/PT). Titled "Stockholm Syndrome", writer Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman) places an ad offering his unlicensed services as a private investigator. The HBO website says it can be seen on HBOOnDemand or iTunes, but we found it on Fancast, an embedded version of which can be viewed below.

About Bored to Death: Jonathan Ames, a young Brooklyn writer, is feeling lost. He's just gone through a painful break-up, thanks in part to his drinking, can't write his second novel, and carouses too much with his magazine editor. Rather than face reality, Jonathan turns instead to his fantasies — moonlighting as a private detective — because he wants to be a hero and a man of action.
Created by Jonathan Ames (author of several books, including the acclaimed graphic novel The Alcoholic, the series follows the misadventures of a fictional Jonathan Ames as he pursues his quixotic dream of emulating his heroes from classic private detective novels.
Bored to Death stars Jason Schwartzman as Jonathan Ames; Ted Danson as George Christopher, a high-profile magazine editor and Jonathan's boss; and Zach Galifianakis as comic book illustrator Ray Hueston, Jonathan's confidant.
