That was probably the weakest episode. I really don't care about Tommy and Christine is strawberry floating unbearable. The rest of it was ok.

Yeah you have a point, I do not think they built them up enough before setting them off on their own. Though yeah Christine is pretty bad

Good episode this week although the stuff disappearing is being beaten over the head a bit too much. The opening was very rough.

Very good episode and yet another one focused on one character. Great performance from Carrie Coon.

She was fantastic. I'm all for one or two more single character episodes this season.

Might get some joy out of Carrie Coon and the cop getting together but other than that it's going to be depressing all the way I expect.

Last weeks episode may have been a bit down, but I thought it was excellent, this week was also very good. Things appear to be happening now, I have no idea what, but certainly something

It's great. Be prepared for much misery though.

Very pleased to hear we'll be getting a second season.

it is slow, 10 episodes in total and nothing really happens in the first few all scene setting. The last two episodes have been great, if the remainder of the season is this standard it will have been a fantastic first season

Good episode especially the 2nd half. Wasn't keen on the reasons for the cult but I guess that's realistic. If my guess is correct I like a lot how the cults activity's this season is linked into the Memorial Day plan. Will miss Patti but not sure if she planned the other cult members death.

Really annoyed by this weeks episode
It is the penultimate episode, with nothing really built for a finale, so they go and pull a flashback episode on us. No idea what is going to happen as finale, but I cannot help but think it has been a missed opportunity, well lets see if they can pull it out the bag next week else I will not be picking this up again next season

Wow, the last couple of minutes of this week's episode were stunning. Taking an episode to massively recontextualise all the characters before the finale was a very smart move.

Very enjoyable episode, gave a lot of insight into the minor and major issues of the post-Departure season so far.

No episode this week as it's Labor Day Weekend so the finale will be on the 7th.

Just watched 1x06 which was the Nora focused one. My favourite episode so far after the Christopher Ecclestone one.

The show should focus on one character more often, especially if they're played by a good actor.

Genuinely do not know what I have watched here

Really enjoyed a couple of episodes, but well it was just getting a bit too weird at the end. It is unlikely I will pick it up again next year

It's become essential viewing for me. Can't wait for Season 2.

The finale was as messed up as I was expecting. Really hope Nora sticks around.

Pretty good finale, went pretty much as expected but good to see it play out along with the aftermath. Unless they expand it in future seasons the baby story was a bit meh for the amount of time they spent on it.

They've covered everything quite a lot so not sure what they can delve into other than a few threads left over. The lack of restriction of the book may be a blessing or a curse. We shall see.
