Didn't watch the trailer but if It its based on the book by the same name then it's based on an 8 or 9 year old book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I’ve watched the first 4 episodes. It’s a beautiful, very well made show. The timing of it is fascinating- they filmed the first episode in Jan 2020, then it was put on hold for a year. I imagine returning to production on any move/show during the pandemic would be a surreal experience, but this had be especially bizarre.

Gavin King Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Watched the first couple of episodes. It's interesting. Not sure I'd say good, but it's definitely not bad. Just a very unique story so far. I kind of keep wanting them to do less Shakespeare and more how the main female character survive the initial days of the pandemic. I'll keep watching curious where they go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'm in danger of overhyping it, but seriously, this is an incredible show. Performance across the board are great (young Kirsten is maybe one of the best kid performances I've ever seen?), the writing is excellent. With each new episode, the scope of the show grows wider, while simultaneously looking deeper into these characters. It feels like peak Lost, but without the messy "big" questions that are impossible to answer in a satisfactory way. There's a great sense of mystery and tension surrounding everything, but it's always focused on smaller, more personal issues. Nobody is trying to solve the mystery of flu, for example, or discover the origin of the smoke monster (there is no smoke monster, unless they're saving that for the final episode). And I can't wait for this final episode. I can guess some of what will happen, but with so many things colliding, it could really go any way. At this point, I have complete trust in this creative team to deliver something satisfying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I’m probably going to end up watching every episode again before the finale on Thursday. I don’t want it to end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucoe Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I, too, have been watching this show and waiting on that last episode for some time. It's a beautiful story all the way through and told in a way that shows masterful, conceptual writing where the story gets told by experiencing it in a constant sense of exposure to bits and pieces at a time. There are some great actors in the show (some you smile when you see them because they're MUCH BIGGER actors than you would have suspected would be in this series) and some of the unknowns, including the little girl who plays Kirsten as a child (another decent actress plays her as the adult) really blow you away with great performances. The whole thing gives off vibes of The Walking Dead, Carnival, LOST and the Leftovers but remains solidly its own vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I squealed when Spoiler David Cross popped up. Like, he’s not such a big star that I thought “how did they get him?” It was just a fun surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more he was on screen, the more I realized it was him and was happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
