I'm on episode three. It's getting better. Actors are finding their feet.

The rat catcher is intriguing.

He's the best character so far.

Yeah...that was...suspect.

That whole episode was garbage; easily the worst yet. The writing and acting is actually getting worse as this goes. That little kid is insufferable.

So, how long has this outbreak been going? Nobody (except the main characters) seems to be aware of it at all, but the sewers are filled with the undead and they are attacking people in the streets at night... What gives?

Because you need to stop the worms from spreading, it's been frustrating. Some good epsiodes and some bad episodes. We will see what next week brings.

For being so specific on what kills the vampires it sure seems like just about any bullet puts them down.

I can agree with you the first episode had a cool feel to it, despite some flaws (most notably, Corey Stoll's wig).

But it's been nothing but just awful since.

Is it wrong that I kind of love the wig?
