2. I looked at the trailer and at present I don't think I'll be watching it.

But for you who think this looks interesting, a giant YES! Go for it! I bet you will LOVE it, and all the more power to you. There is hardly anything better than discovering a new series. Enjoy it and have a wonderful time! I really mean that.

Just because I didn't think it wasn't worth watching hardly matters. Do go for it if you think its worthwhile. Otherwise, there are lots and lots of other things to watch.

a hard time finding justification to continue. I don’t mind slow moving stories, if there’s SOME indication of where it’s going, or some coherence to it. But so far it’s a lot of disjointed random spookiness, that they had to justify by having him eat acid.

Maybe the problem is that they’re trying to stretch this out to six episodes or whatever, when it could be done in less. They’re filling time.

It's very, very strange, mostly like a bad acid trip--and at this point, that doesn't seem at all far-fetched. But we will keep watching. There is a mystery at the core, and now, I want to know what that is!

and lots of weird spooky stuff happening, but it’s all disconnected and the story is not moving forward much. Kind of a snorefest, it’s losing me. I want to be interested, but I’m just not.

they won all the awards. I like all the actors in it but... I just couldnt get into it. Watched 2 episodes and that was all. Im at the end of The Ranch, Peaky Blinders and Halt and Catch Fire. These I started to watch a summer or 2 ago then I went on to something else and now that my ENTIRE LIFE consists of my house and 4 dogs I decided to finish them up.


Its hard to see something end that you really enjoy so I will have to add some new shows. Was thinking of Utopia..anyone catch that yet.

Finally finished Tales from The Loop. I didnt even know about that show until one day when I was minding my own business, my Echo Show started playing the trailer.... allllllll by itself.


So i will check out The Third Day..thanks for the suggestion.
