I’ve watched the first season (9 episodes) and find it very interesting. The premise is disturbing, the same way many of the Black Mirror story lines were.

Anyone else watching?

Here's the Lexington letter that Apple released as part of episode six. Interesting side story and must read for fans of the show.

I thought the first season was mostly excellently creepy. Cast is very good and the buildup was outstanding. Looking forward to season 2 but watching season 1 was so stressful I honestly don't mind having the break lol.

I enjoyed it after 2 or 3 episodes, and only because i was lost in the first 2 episodes, once the show went on it got really good, (im still confused as f**k but enjoyed it nonetheless)

Great show and excellent premise. I find myself getting more annoyed by shows like this with a mystery premise and very few reveals in the first season(s), though. By the time S2 rolls around I'll probably feel confused about S1. Still an excellent show. Just wish there were a little bit more reveals in S1.

Just binged it in two days, I think some of the first few episodes could be trimmed but other than that loved it. Legitimately on the edge of my seat the last few minutes of the season.

Hopefully this doesn't turn out like Westworld

I am currently tearing through this after all the positive posts in the various Tv threads here. Through four eps and can’t remember the last time I was this hooked on a show.

Great show. Not exactly easy to rip through for me, maybe because of the eerie vibe and slow build. Impressed by the writing, directing and acting.

Just finished this show. This was legit one of my favorite seasons of television of all time, up there with s2 of the Leftovers.

Acting across the board was phenomenal. Turturro is great in everything. Adam Scott is perfect as the confused everyman. Was not familiar with Britt Lower but she was freaking fantastic in this. Guy who played Melchick was incredible as well (Defiant Jazz dance party scene may be the best scene of the season). For me Arquette was probably the weak link, I just felt like her Jewish grandma vocal inflections to be kind of weird and off-putting.

Hoping S2 can keep up the quality level.

I thought it was OK, it answered some questions but left enough hanging for s2.
