New favorite show? Absolutely.

Who is caught up? I want to share spoiler tags with people in the know. I’m getting tired of having no one to talk to about it.

For realz, it’s damn good.

let’s tag stuff by episode so people can avoid things if they aren’t caught up.

an underground city! holy shit!

I read a review of it on the AVClub that was like "We don't want to say to much about it--just watch it! It's good!"

I'm excited to check it out. I've really had a lot of trouble finding a show to get into. Everything is either too serious/prestige or a sense of humor that isn't really what I'm wanting right now.

A thriller with actors I like sounds like just the thing.

I'm watching it! Just one episode behind. It's good. I wish I had time to expound right now but I don't. :laugh:

Helluva premise.

I'll have more to say soon though.

Oh man, that last episode. What a ride.

Better than most big budget disaster films you'll see.

The NY Times didn’t think much of it so I didn’t put it in my watchlist. Don’t remember what they said, but sufficient for me not to watch. However, it’s in my watchlist on Hulu now as you guys like it so much.

gotta get that watched tonight! i had a feeling it was gonna be a good episode based on last week's setup.

i am definitely liking the setups. cliff hangers that just bleed into the next episode and pick right up with the suspense. great mindless television. love it.

On paper I wasn't excited, I care more about the story in the moment than the backstory, which is somewhat immaterial. But I gotta admit, they did such a great job with it I didn't mind it as a cutaway.

I am caught up through episode seven. Really good stuff. Only one more episode this initial season! Gonna be lots and lots of cliffhangers and unanswered questions. Drops tomorrow!

That was a darn good finale. Hate that it was only eight episodes, but they certainly have plenty more story to tell. I am glad they wrapped up the

assassination plotline, anyway. Sinatra taking one in the neck from Agent Jane Driscoll was a nice, surprising touch. Obviously Dr. Torabi is connected to all sorts of things, and Kane Bradford's dementia will reveal more and more. So many more layers of conspiracy to go!
Loved the use again of that Joyner cover of the Phil Collins song, too. Next season....we start to venture outside!

holy crap. i did not see that ending coming. gotta say i was curious who killed the president but i was not expecting an outside influence.

i will say this show has done a lot with a little. the flashback structure was effective even if i’m not a fan of that type of story telling.

excited to see what happens when the outside world starts to try and get inside.

also, that Jane character is ****ing mental

I got Hulu for a month to watch this show. 3 episodes in. Very smart and slick. Good stuff :up:

That’s how I got to view the show.

LOVED Todd. :D

Tried again to watch this show. Can’t make heads or tails of it & find it insufficiently interesting.

It fell off at the end for me. Seemed like a sci-fi version of a Harlan Coben vehicle.

Enjoyed the series, despite a few corny bits.
Loved the background score. Another win for Siddhartha Khosla alongwith Only Murders in the building.


Jane seems to be like Todd from Breaking Bad.
Perfectly put. Her motive is silly, frightening & strangely brilliant - all at the same time.
