Deff gonna watch this. I want to save it up and watch in one go though. Fat chance of that right now with boredom levels so high

Read this on me hols a couple of summers back. They were developing this even then but I’m sure Elizabeth debicki was meant to be in it. Doesn’t appear to be the case.

Think they got the ‘pulpy’ tone spot on. Really excited for the next one.

The sequence with them trying to get out of the county before sundown was actually way scarier than the weird vampire monsters, so I think they did excellent with that.

Also like @Otto mentioned, they got the pulpy tone down so well, absolutely nailed that aesthetic.

The second episode is great. Don’t know how it’ll keep up this momentum, but if it does it’s going to be really something.

I thought the second episode was a complete stinker :slight_smile: Every time there was a commercial break it seemed to come back to a completely different episode.

Fingers crossed that it rights itself.

Not with you on the stinker but it did feel like we’d lost some footage after at least one of them.

Yeah, the one where they just appeared in that tower dungeon thing. Definitely didn’t hit the heights of the first one though and it’s a shame Johnnie Cochran has snuffed it

That’s the one I’m thinking of. Wonder where we’re off to next.

Feels like that plot line is at an end.

watched episode 1 now, they crammed a LOT of plot into an hour.

The book was a bit hit and miss from what I remember. I read the book by the way. Two years ago. I read books often. Book book book.

Yeah, significant drop in quality from first to second episode. Weird that you have an opening episode that’s such a slow build and then the second episode is literally so madcap and all over the place they’re clearly having to skip chunks of the story to get it all in. Worried it’s going to be one of those where there’s tons of good ideas and so much potential but ultimately nobody has actually bothered to plot out a decent coherent story. Hope it gets back on track next week.

Quite surprised by what a bellend Atticus has been.

Better episode though.

Watched the first four now. Enjoying how pulpy it is and how every episode is riffing off a genre trope.

Can see how it can feel like a massive tonal shift from the first episode though and why not everyone would be into that. First one now feels like a parody of a Quality HBO Drama to me.

Fancy volunteering to fight in Korea. What a loon.

Is anyone actually watching this? Was excited to check it out but doesn’t seem to have made a splash at all, and I don’t want to waste my time.

gave up after about 4 episodes.

I was really excited about the show but it’s a flippin’ mess. Wasn’t really invested in the characters but I really lost patience when it didn’t look like a coherent plot was ever going to emerge. Not remotely scary or disturbing either.

Amazed that that “Negro Motorists guide” was actually real.

Seen the 1st two eps, it looks good eh
