The first one is free.
I was watching a lot of buzz for this new show online from the man who brought you Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and I thought what the heck? I'll watch the free first episode and be part of the kewl kids who have seen it. What could go wrong?
My god this is a good show and now I will have to renew my Apple subscription to see how this turns out.
It was funny and scary and dystopian and well shot and acted and I'm really invested in Carol and her journey.
What have I done?
I will probably wait until more episodes have dropped before signing up for a month of Apple.
I can't wait that long!
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

You can watch the MurderBot series, too!

Fallen for that way too many times. I'll wait until we inevitably have to update one of our apple devices and then binge a lot of AppleTV.

Bro, if I followed every whim that I wanted, I’d be standing at the streetlight holding a handmade cardboard sign that says ‘Hungry, please help’ to collect spare change for drugs.
A man’s gotta know his limitations.

Watched thru to the finale. It felt like a nothing burger...it moved glacially. There was a lot of atmosphere, but the story took forever to move along. I wanted to like it and I kept hoping, but I don't think the first season delivers. If I were in that situation, I think I'd identify most with the Air Force One guy.

Ep02 Carol tries to get some help with the other people who aren't affected by the alien invasion. The other people can't really see what Carol's problem is. There were some fun moments also creepy moments, especially when they all talk in unison. I do like the Mauritanian guy who is taking complete advantage of the situation.

Lots of agreement with thatGuy. Lots of subtle moments. I really felt for our South American friend. It did seem to end abruptly.
I think my main problem is that as alien invasions go, this one is kind of stupid. The aliens can't feed themselves or grow crops. In about 10 years, they are all going to be dead. That is not a very good strategy. They need a better end game.
