Might watch, their football team’s alright
Cheerful and baffling isn’t it? Enjoyed how they got two famous actors in the first episode just to chew the scenery and then come to a grizzly end.

Yeah totally baffling.
But beautiful.
Me and Mrs F still haven’t bothered to go back and rewatch the very beginning of the first episode to work out what he said to prevent the lynching.
I liked it - but liked it less by then end than I did at the start
Just got the finale to go. Not expecting a happy end considering how relentlessly bleak everything has been up to now.
It’s going to be like Lost plus
Not only are they all dead, but they’re brought back from the dead to be made even more dead all over again.

I thought the final episode wrapped things up nicely. Although, the English lad conveniently drowning at that point was quite lol
Would have liked a slightly more signposting from the off as to where it was heading, and maybe more Rafe Spall earlier on, but pretty good all the same.
We finished this last night after taking ages to getting around to watching.
What an incredible show! I loved how well structured the plot was: you get loads of these prestige shows with characters as well written and strongly realised but you rarely get something that manages to feel so original in the story choices.
Every episode went down one or more unexpected paths. It turned out this was partly a mystery/twist/reveal story but you were never teased to the point where you just wanted to find out the mystery more than enjoy the story.
In line with the rest I think. One of the things I loved about it was how it would draw out some things and others would be surprisingly resolved. E.g. Her coming back to the farmstead and dealing with the husband and wife after she realises they aren’t good people is long and tense, so then the implication when we see Eli with Kills on Water is that this will be a complicated setup for a longer piece…and then she dispatches Black Eyed Mog and frees Eli in a couple of minutes.
Keeps you on your toes.
Turns out Hugo Blick played young Joker in the 89 Batman film
We watched this recently, was the first time we’ve properly used the HDR capabilities of our TV despite buying it ages ago. It looked absolutely amazing, which was good as after the first couple of episodes the scenery was the only reason to watch it. Reckon it should either have been a film or a longer series where they developed the plot and characters properly - seemed to be caught somewhere in between.
