The first few eps feel a little scattered and random at times, but around ep 4 it becomes apparent it's all been deliberate, so they feel pretty different in retrospect. A lot of stuff that feels like a random throwaway line turns out to have a lot more significance than it seemed to at first.
So I dunno if I could tell you the pace picks up, but the story comes into focus suddenly.

I'm trying to start discussions. Was my post so offensive that you had to dive into my post history for "dirt" on me?

The first 2 episodes were good but they're well in the quality range of lots of prestige tv. The 3rd episode is the first to reach the heights Station Eleven reached.

There's a twitch stream every Thursday with a 90s Simpsons episode with commercials. It's cool, this Twitter feed runs it.

You're right about Mr Robot. I love season one, season two was a little bit hard to get through for the reasons you said, but then it ended an unbelievable way

People are raving about TLOU's ep 3 in particular, which dabbles in the stuff S11 used for bread & butter.

I am not a fan of weird bottle episodes but dang The Leftovers is sooooo great. I didn't understand International Assassin and the hotel until season 3. It was worth it.

well if it was a combination lock maybe. Maybe it was originally set up to obliterate people if they got it wrong?

No, because she never intended to stay. If she had stayed she would have been.

Reply to What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow
Reaching back to the 90s, Xena: Warrior Princess. I'm not actually sure who the intended audience was, beyond people who were interested in campy, tongue-in-cheek comedy adventure, but it pretty quickly became a cult hit amongst lesbians.

While Station Eleven is very good, it was quite a bit slower paced and pretty much only focused on the people in stead of the situation of the world at large.
I would recommend the movie The Girl With All The Gifts

Kevin being president was a different episode. Everything in book of Nora was real. The Kevin episode probably isn’t real of course. But Noras is. There is a long standing thing about Nora not being able to lie… that is prior to the book of Nora where she gains the ability to. But she may or may not have decided to use it. She can lie now, but will she?

So was Kevin really in another world where he was the President and/or his identical twin brother? ...and if he told the story to you would you be able to believe him? That's the question to me, more than whether Nora is lying or not.
Her story may be a lie but how can Kevin think that given what he's experienced? Heck everyone in the world has experienced the craziness of the original disappearance how can you discount her story?
Was she lying? Telling the truth? Maybe, either way who am I to judge her experience.

Eh different strokes for different folks I guess. I'm definitely enjoying The Last of Us but so far it hasn't worked for me nearly as well as Station Eleven did (last night's episode did come close though!)

It doesn't end on a cilff hanger, but it's a sit-com type show that didnt wrap anything up.

Maybe if they created an original vampire show instead of remaking a classic that they’ll never be able to live up to, it wouldn’t have gotten cancelled. I actually would have watched the show if it was a new dark, creepy vampire show that’s emotional and touching like LTRRI.
By all accounts the show is seemingly not bad, so I give credit to the people involved for not making it terrible. I just think there’s nothing that needs to be remade 3 times. Why would I want to see a version of a masterpiece that’s merely ‘decent’? I’ll just watch the version that’s a classic instead...
