It's great so far.
Trailer looks good. Like the Radiohead theme tune.
what, after you spending the first 20 minutes moaning how some of them were “the wrong colour”?
I hate purple people and I'm not afraid to admit it.
Andy Dufresne and Jorah Mormont? I'm in
Where?
I watched the premiere so far on Appletv+ . About to watch the second episode. This will be sort of like Expanse for me. I had read 2 of the books before the Expanse premiere. And I read some of the book series this is based off as well. But it has been so long I only vaguely remember where I left off I know I didn't finish, not because I didn't like it or anything.
Is this based on Wool? I never got round to reading it.
Yes, it's based on the Wool series of books
2 episodes in and its been good without being amazing. Loved the books and so fat they have done a great job of visualising how it all looked. Im looking forward to the next episode
I like the unraveling plot...it has a bit of the Severence about it. Let's see where they take it.

Just checked the trailer for this, Westworld vibes. Especially the music.
Really enjoyed the first three episodes of this.
First two episodes were quite West Worldesque to be fair.
Holding off in the rest so I can binge in a few weeks.
Yeah, I've not watched any yet, waiting to binge it too.
I’ve watched the first two now I’m on to the third it’s losing my attention a bit want something to happen now!
Last episode was a bit dull. Hope it's not a sign that it's slowing down, and they're going to drag everything out.
Started off a bit slowish but picked up a bit in episode 3 and 4. Never knew it was based on books.
I loved the first two episodes but it's gone a bit mediocre...standard fare since. Oh well. I was hoping more Severence but there you go...
Really enjoyed 3 but 4 was a damp squib.
fecking hell this went downhill fast. The last two episodes were dull as shit. Just turned into a melodrama. Hope it picks back up.
Yeah... pretty dreadful. I'm tempted to google the mystery and move on with my life.
It's a bit boring isn't it. They introduced a really intriguing story and two intriguing characters in the first two episodes, and since then it's just been... meh.
Even the first two episodes weren't that great, just felt like a low budget version of Foundation. Which I didn't rate at first but realize now I kinda miss it.
Started well but dragging a bit the last couple of episodes. Hopefully gets better.
Better episode. Most of it wasn't too interesting, but at least it picked up at the end. At least something is happening.
If I loved Severance would I like this? Thinking of starting a new series.
Severance is top tier, this is... hard to say what it is yet. The beginning is great, then it slows down a bit, but it looks like it might pick up again. It could be great, who knows.
This really went to shit. Jules is a terrible character and impossible to root for. Mad that they killed off the only decent characters in the show.
I thought the last two episodes were decent. The last one in particular. It's actually going somewhere now.
It’s a bit Lost in that nothing happens all episode and then there’s a little twist and reveal at the end.
It’s mainly Jules, she’s a crap character who I have no interest in. The first episode with Rashida Jones character and the sheriff was still easily the best. They should’ve have a show around them.
That sort of describes the previous episode, but I felt like this episode actually had something happening all the way through it. Almost like a real TV show.
It's a bit too generic – I swear, I've seen the setting and all the story tropes before in so many different dystopian series/movies...
And it doesn't have any good characters.
And it doesn't have any good characters.
Yeah it's deffo picked up. That said a lot different to how I thought it'd be.
They lost me a bit during last week's episode when they referred to a character by their full name of Allison Becker.
The penultimate episode was good. Ready for the finale.
Okay so after the finale what do we think:
1. All a simulation matrix style - unlikely , because these "bad rendering" effects were shown only outside.
OR
2. The outside is actually a big projection room that can be redecorated on demand . There are no dead bodies there. Its filled with some poisonous gas which the better heat tape actually insulates against. So in fact its still within the silo.
OR
3. The real outside is actually the bleak post apocalyptic that was shown , there are indeed other silos nearby etc. The air is toxic. The good green picture is somehow projected from the suit , so the person the goes out to clean feels happy in his last moments. There are actually dead bodies which were not shown after the scene switched.
