Yes, I am on episode 6 and it's great.  Can't wait to finish it.  watching Helly deal with her real life persona is hard.  Honestly, she actually is in a position of power and should just cut off one finger a day till she gets what she wants.  She should do it in front of everyone as well.  Or just completely destroy the computers and just go crazy  till she becomes too much of a liability to work there.    Anyway, can't wait to see what happens in the following episodes.  

Lots of layers to the show as it progresses.

really?  I've watched the first 3 and got really depressed and was wondering if it's worth the payoff.

I was debating about jumping to Tokyo Vice on HBO, but maybe i'll stick it out.

Like stated before it’s a slow burn show, but the story buildup is very natural and really comes together at the end. Definitely not a feel good show though, pretty dark.

Finale was outstanding! Best hour of tv I’ve seen in a long time.

Really cool show! Slow burn but quirky, dark and intriguing. The cast is fantastic and the acting is all around great. Worth checking out if you can.

Is anybody watching this? Bit of a slow burn, but quirky and strange and fantastic cast and acting.

I have this drawing from back when I was active on the boards.  Just curious if anybody would be interested in it. Thanks, cheers!

The wife and I are liking this series, but I have heard it’s a bit different from the book. Watching this past weeks ep now.

A fantastic mini series based on an intense and scary story.

I was listening to the audio book as part of a 9-hour drive this past week. And being Stephen King describing every little detail, I still have more discs to listen to.

I don’t want to read the book until the series finishes, but definitely going to check it out after

Is anyone watching this? If not, I highly recommend starting. Think first season of true detective meets Stephen King.

Fantastic story and acting. It’s a 10 part anthology And the finale is Sunday so you have a week to catch up.

Another fantastic episode. Can’t wait for the finale, but I’m also dreading it

Wow!!! Just WOW!!!

Read this on ign. I didn’t make this connection, curious if anyone else did?

”Like the comic, the show continues to draw admirably on superhero iconography. Its opening scene, which introduces the trillionaire Lady Trieu (Hong Chau), begins with a childless farmer couple and their otherwise warm & loving life, and ends with an object from outer space crashing down on their farm. Like the Black Wall Street Massacre prologue in Episode 1, it’s the Superman mythos re-written — the farmer’s name is Jonathan Clark, a mere stone’s throw from Jonathan Kent (father to Superman/Clark Kent) — but what happens between the introduction of the Clarks and the yet-to-be-revealed alien arrival speaks to the intrusion of money and power, in a story that might otherwise feel idyllic. What if, rather than adopting a divinely delivered saviour, Superman’s kindly parents bartered their farm for a biological son they didn’t think they could have? A son engineered, without their consent, by a Lex Luthor type, who then takes charge of whatever alien ship or object makes contact? It’s a chilling thought, since Trieu’s motivations remain shrouded in mystery.”

Had a bit of a hard time through the first 2 episodes, but the third definitely cranked up my interest.

Couple theories...

For anyone interested, HBO has been releasing these files after each episode to explain how some of the events in the show are connected or a direct result of the comic. Some interesting reading.

I’ve honestly been having a hard time with this season. Thought the first episode was pretty good, but struggled with the next 3.

Just watched this weeks episode and it finally gave me the Legion feeling from the first 2 seasons.

Really hoping they continue like this and finish the series off strong.

Thanks guys!

These would probably do well on comiclink. Is there only 2?

Yes, just the 2

A colleague has asked me to look into a couple of pages her mother found in an old chest. Her cousins husband was the artist.

Ive already run these by thirdgreenham, but figure more knowledge is always better.

Mostly curious about how to maximize any sale of them...eBay, auction house etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Some of the Stephen King Easter eggs in this are fantastic!

Anyone watching this? 4 episodes in and I’m pretty hooked. Love all the tie ins and references to his books.

I’m bumping this thread cause I had some interest in one of the books recently so I thought I’d see if anyone else is interested.

Yeah, how crappy does that trailer look. Geez.

I watched it yesterday...it was awful.

Basic story was kinda there but not true to the Comics in so many places. Voice actors casting was terrible. Maybe 5/10

Terrible. ??
