Remember this from the book but to see it visually was crazy!

Is this worth checking out?

I think it is if you like science fiction. Of course, I feel you’d get more from the books because a show has to condense things, but so far I think the show is getting the concepts out there.

It leans more towards hard science fiction rather than fantasy sci-fi, which makes even more appealing.

Ooh. Mrs Wease may be out then.

I’m on episode 7 and i don’t want it to end. Only one more to go

I'll be watching episode 8 tonight.

Shout out to Big Head.

This wasn’t perfect, but it was very, very good, and very binge-able—I don’t know if I would’ve enjoyed it as much watching over the course of two months. They seemed to cover the entire first book, and I have high hopes that Netflix will let them finish the series if they can do it in three seasons.

3 eps in and loving it so far.

The ending was a little dull but I guess there's still a lot of story to tell. Sure hope they continue making it!

Should I watch this today? I know nothing about it. Why or why not?

I feel like they could’ve stretched out Saul’s ending a bit and played into more of the absurd Kafkaesque humor of “If course you’re not a wallfacer ::” Overall the speed and timing of the whole season were the biggest issue for me, but it’s still a lot of fun.

I did like the focus on Saul's struggle with the whole Wallfacer concept. Definitely was funny to see him keep saying "but I'm not a fucking Wallfacer!" only to be met with the "ok suuurrre, I got you".

You should watch it if you like hard sci fi. The actors are all pretty great. Although I don't care for the performance by whoever is playing Tatiana, but it is minor in the scope of things.

I don't know about Tatiana, but whoever is playing Auggie is awful.. hoping the story makes up for it soon or I'm going to turn it off

i went ahead and quit after episode one and gave Love on the Spectrum a try instead

feels like a Lost situation where nothing ultimately gets resolved, just more questions

which actually probably applies to both shows, but i'm having a much better time with this one

Ok thanks for participating.

Watched the first ep last night. Thumbs up but are there actual physicists who look this good and dress this well?
