major spoiler, do not read if you haven't seen the first episode


Pretty good start. I figured something was up when he was running through the "perfect" town." reminded me of Wayward Pines. But the actual surprise was surprising nonetheless. I think they need to give Sterling's character a little more of a personality. May be hard to keep viewers if he is going to be monotone/stone faced throughout.

First ep good. Loses steam fast in 2-3. Pacing is too slow. It’s already devolved into a melodrama. I will probably bail.

I was laughing at the shower scene. I was like "that came out of nowhere". I will hang in.

SPOILER:

I could not agree more.
I was so surprised that the ‘moral compass’ of the show went from saying, “I’m married” to being naked in the shower (with the therapist) in the very next shot.
I’ll continue.
I find it a little more polished and accessible than ‘Wayward Pines’ was and I really want to know what those 6 numbers mean!

reply

Maybe Hurley knows about the numbers! I think it is an ID tail number for a plane

reply

They certainly did allude to that at the end of the 2nd episode with the slow focus on one of the planes tail numbers almost directly after a shot of the ‘6 digits’ - but I was hoping it wasn’t that easy.

reply

Yes. 2-3 and were horrible boring. I bailed.

I've enjoyed every second of every episode. I haven't found it boring at all as others have said. The twist had me feeling thrilled - I hate it when I figure out a plot too early and I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't click at all until the maintenance crew man fixed the broken duck in the pond. I'm loving it! Politics, romance, deceit and science fiction. Brilliant stuff. I'm hooked.
