Premiered on Wednesday. Apparently the pilot's been online for a month, has all kind of critical acclaim, to the point that they gave it a second season before the pilot even aired. All I can say is go watch it if you haven't. It's pretty badass.

I didn't on my initial watch, but I caught it when I rewatched it with the wife. Sam does a great job with the little things like that. Similarly, anybody catch the Reddit thread about the two people that approached Angela? Another nice touch by Sam. [Reply]

I've purposely stayed away from Reddit - don't want to catch a spoiler by accident.
Spoiler!
I'm assuming you're talking about how there has been an "inconspicuous man" and "inconspicuous woman" listed in the credits of a handful of episodes this season - and that they are following Angela around?

I don't think I've ever really stumbled across a spoiler, but I do enjoy reading the theories.
Spoiler!
And yes, that's mostly what I was referring to. Less them being listed on IMDb and more their inclusion in the background of various Angela scenes in various episodes. Pretty neat detail that I doubt the show even references directly.

Still loving it.
Now worried that the LHC/alternate universe/time travel hints in the show were just there to throw us off. White Rose's comments last ep make me think he just mindfucked her into playing her part... [Reply]

I'm not sure what to think though at the end. I thought about Tyrell being Elliot as well, but then it wouldn't make sense. I have a funny feeling the dude knocking on the door is the dude he stole the dog from. Seems too obvious to be his pops, Darlene or Tyrell.
Was told about this series by my son. Binged watched the first season on Amazon on Thanksgiving night. I guess because it was on USA that I never even considered it as even a possibly, turns out it is quality work. I was wrong.
The series has a unique feel and look to the series. The way its put on film, the dialog and directing is something I'm used to seeing on HBO. Top shelf quality. Without Ramik I think the whole show wouldn't have worked. Perfect melding of show and actor.
I told my wife this feels like a fight club thing in the first episode. I thought this was a bad sign, some retread shit. But the quality was so high I overlooked the possibility of a fight club type spinoff TV series. Turns out the whole fight club arc fits well with the direction of the series.
I dont know if you are spoiling this show or not. I shall return when I finish season 2. [Reply]

There is a difference between ripping something off and paying homage. This series pays homage, covers many of the same bases, but goes much deeper into many different areas.
And at the time season 1 and 2 were happening they were actually very timely. So timely during season 1 it seemed to predict events a week or two before they happened... [Reply]

I didn't mean to come off as I thought it was a weak rip off of Fight Club. I thought it was a different take on the concept and it worked well. 2 episodes into season 2, it looks like they are going to explore his mental illness. I love Ramik's acting but I hope they move on soon.
BTW, I know for a fact(cant tell you how I know) that no one will ever cut the balls off that bull on Wall Street. That thing is guarded 24/7 by several off duty NY city cops with serious firepower. In addition to the regular police force guarding the area, there are street cameras in 3 different camera locations and angles focused on only that bull. The rich dont want their symbols vandalized or blown up. [Reply]

It pays off and it's worth it.

All the more reason to put it in the show.
If some moron tries that they'll be caught immediately. It's probably not smart to show an act of terrorism on TV that could be highly effective and likely successful... [Reply]
