Starts tomorrow! I’m very excited for this. I miss Rhea Seehorn.

[wease]

Agreed!

[Ms Harmless]

really excited

[tree_]

I was thinking this was gonna be some kinda generic zombie thing, but boy was I wrong. Glad I hung in there. Gonna be a great time.

It's a big swing but I think it works, so far

[tree_]

Oh, man. Just finished ep. 2 and I want more! Now!

Spoiler: show

So far, Carol is like a rabid dog, holding onto her painful individuality, refusing the apparent cure of blissful, collective consciousness. But what is the ultimate goal of this hivemind? A fun direction to go in, I've been thinking about, is like the AI paperclip maximizer thought experiment. But instead of maximum paperclips, we get empathy maximization, which can lead to some fun and weird places. I'm excited. What a fun, imaginative show.

I renewed my Apple TV subscription for this and I'm glad I did

love the colour palette -- the reds, pinks, yellows, blues -- and satire-sci-fi-horror-comedy tones; it's everything Gilligan is good at, with Seahorn as the lead

what's not to like? onto episode 2

[Ms Harmless]

the satire is loud here

[tree_]

Yeah I'm obsessed

[epilogue]

The first episode was great. The second I was a little lukewarm on but I still enjoyed it overall, especially in the more absurd moments.

Very excited to see where this is all going.

[Simple Torture]

Woah! I had heard about this but hadn’t seen any trailers or anything. Excellent X-Files vibes, I’ve only watched the premiere but will keep going soon.

[wease]

Just finished the first ep. Fucking hell, this is great. Rhea Seehorn is a goddess.

[epilogue]

I'll be very interested in folks' thoughts on ep 2 v ep 1

[wease]

Well, we won’t get to it until tomorrow something. RARHOF is about to start.

Well, we won’t get to it until tomorrow something. RARHOF is about to start.

I don't know what any of that means

[wease]

I felt Ep 2 was strong. We’re learning more about the world as it is now and also learning Carol must be careful. Hopefully we’ll get more answers in the third Ep.
