Watched episode one on Sunday and episode two yesterday. It definitely has my attention. I haven't read the book but so far I'm invested. Hoping it can sustain and finish as well as it opened.

Enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Fantastic so far, with just an all around great cast. Personally, Bateman most impressed me with his directing. His acting (along with everyone else the show) is top notch, but I was surprised to see he directed the first episode. I know he’s done a few (maybe all?) of Ozark, but he really has gotten it down. The overall feel of that first episode was dynamite.

The first 2 episodes were amazing and really captured my attention. However, over the last few episodes, my interest has been lost a little bit. Still enjoying it, just not as much as I did after those initial first few episodes. Curious how it all turns out though.

Really digging the series thus far. Only complaint is the pace of the last few episodes, but I guess I understand it's necessary to create the sense of dread...

Keep reading this. Haven't seen this last weeks episode yet but I don't think there has been a bad episode.

I think when Episode 3 or 4 hits, it gets surprisingly darker and perhaps a bit supernatural. Obviously don't want to spoil anything so that's the most I'll say.
It's good but it's not no True Detective Season 1.

The last few episodes have picked back up. Rebounded nicely. Looking forward to it’s conclusion next week.
