Solid first episode but it’s been a little overhyped. Second episode just okay.

It got pretty predictable by episode 4. I’ll finish the series but it’s just ok

One of the most ridiculous lines ever was uttered in episode 8

What am I missing about the cheese fries scene that makes it a jumping off point?

I heard on talk radio that this was picked up for a second season.

Cloying, pandering, melodramatic trash. It was only a few seconds before I pulled the ripcord but it was more than enough to tell me it was gonna be another This is Us, a show I would find absolute torture to watch.

My takeaway was to make a plate of cheese fries for my next watch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was 7 really that good? I’m slowly starting to be convinced I need to resume watching this thing.

No you don’t. The big reveal at the end of who killed Cal was the lamest thing ever

Bit the bullet and finished this thing. 5 and 6 were good; 7 was very, very good but I’m hypercritical and nitpicky about certain elements of sequences like that. The president is getting dragged onto that chopper. He’s not gonna be given time to have a chat with his staff and the janitor. The Sum of All Fears is a superior depiction of such a sequence. Too many speeches.

That said, the second half of the season was good enough for me to give season 2 a chance.
