Best show I’ve seen this year.
That finale was great. Can’t wait for Season 2.

Yeah, it's pretty weird. It's like a LOST x Westworld mixup done by Yorgos Lanthimos.
I like it though. The sci-fi element is a very interesting premise.

Hearing a lot of good things about this show. Have a free 4 month trial of apple+ so I intend to "get watching" soon.

It's definitely generating a lot of buzz now. It's a good move that they released episodes weekly instead of all at once like Netflix. Season 1 is over, but it allowed the show to generate some momentum week-to-week. The season finale was a pretty incredible 40 minutes.
It's a show like LOST where it will generate a TON weekly discussion/speculation by viewers if it grows the audience big enough. I remember back when LOST was airing, here on HF, there was 40+ page threads of discussion for every episode.

Been hearing about this show for weeks but decided to wait till it was all out to watch it. Finished it all in like 2 days. Solid show. I'm a sucker for weird/dystopian/mystery shows. Look forward to season 2.

I think the whole season is worth a rewatch just for this reason.
Could you pm me an example of the foreshadowing? Best show I’ve seen in a while. Loved the eery vibe and it definitely felt somewhat like LOST/Dharma Initiative

My apologies, I'm drawing a blank at the moment. I'd have to watch it again. Basically there are little character quirks that are clues to a that character's later actions. Helly's interaction with Mark outside work, for one. She is a little too cocky to be just another person sacrificing their work life to the severance procedure. Just odd little details that one might not notice the first time around.

Great show, at least worth Apple TV for a month and then cancel
Nah AppleTV is great, I recommend people checking out Mythic Quest if they're running out their Apple TV subscription for this, it's a fun light comedy watch from creators of It's Always Sunny I think most people would like. Stuff like Servant and Foundation I'm a fan of but have been polarizing on the whole.

Not for me. I have enough streaming apps already. They used to give you a year with every iPhone purchase but that stopped. I find the rest of the content to be underwhelming with a few exceptions.

I was skeptical sitting through the first episode whether it was a show I would stick with for the entire season. I thought it might be a bit too artsy fartsy and pretentious, but it got better with each episode, and it ended up being one of the better and more thought provoking shows in recent memory. I'm very much looking forward to Season Two
I'd recommend you get back on that horse, plow through the first episode, and enjoy the rest of the ride
"Great" is an understatement for this show. I hope they can keep it up with Season 2.

Just finished Season 1, quite looking forward to Season 2. Very well-executed drama/mystery/sci-fi. It manages to continually building momentum throughout the season, which is so easy feat.
Of course, now there is the weight of expectations. I hope Season 2 can deliver. The wider premises like this expand, the trickier it can be to navigate the logic and maintain the integrity of the plot. In this day and age, (for dramas) I tend to wait until a show's run is finished before I start, lest I get hooked into a show ultimately for it to jump the shark and me be let down and feel like I've wasted my time. There's so much other content out there that I can safely start a show I already know will be satisfying throughout. But, looks I'm doing this one live, so, the pressure's on
Also, it's nice to see Britt Lower getting high-profile work. I thought she was great in a supporting role in "Man Seeking Woman."

I think this is the best new show of the last few years.
The concept, writing, acting, everything is almost perfect

Just binged all 9 episodes.
f***ing hell what a show. Best thing I have seen in 2022 for sure. That ending as well...
