Watched 3 episodes and I'm liking it enough to continue with it. No one else giving this a shot?

Watched all of it over the last few days, there's a really clever shift in plot and tone and it asks some intriguing questions..thoroughly recommend it.

Almost finished it, looks quite good. Just don't expect anything ground-breaking.

The premise is better than the execution. Coincidences are hilarious, whenever a character *has* to see something, they see it.

Just why do we need more seasons of this? Just up the episode count to 10 and be done already.

I've tried watching this twice.

The first time, I fell asleep towards the end of episode 1.

The second time i fell asleep right at the start of episode 2.

Is thus series worth watching??

Not really, its fine for background noise but I didn't find it captivating at all.

Is everyone done with this? I saw it was trending on Netflix last night and watched a trailer, but thought the effects looked a bit naff.
Maybe I give the first episode a whirl.

Seen it, probably a better show than squid game, but less memorable.

It's very good. Didn't know what to expect going into it. Those 3 guys were brutal.
What does the ending mean if someone can explain ?

Possibly the beginning of the rapture or some similar apocalyptic event. The dead come back to life and the whole of humanity is judged.

I'm thinking either the dead come back as demon zombies

Or

They come back as themselves and the sinners go on a rampage while the innocent try to stop them.

The baby will have some kind of powers too

One thing I really like about the series is how they've left everything to the imagination about what's actually going on. Who the feck knows.

Have a feeling the original cult leader will come back and act messianic.

Just finished watching this. Binged the whole 6 episodes over 2 days which is best for continuity. Really enjoyed it. Some great acting in it. Looking forward to series 2

Still a lot of questions that need answering. A second series should be enough to wrap this up.
