Anyone watched any of the first 3 premiere episodes last night?

I went in not knowing what it was based off of (very feminist book) and honestly couldn't get past the first episode.

Does it get better?

Didn't mind it. My wife wanted to watch so we watched the first one last night. I thought it was pretty decent, but I usually can get past any sort of political stuff and enjoy a show.

I enjoyed the premise, thought the first ep was pretty good, but have some big issues that keep me from really enjoying it.

Some really questionable music choices in the last 2 episodes, the narration is annoying, and the whole timeline of how the country found itself in that position isnt very concincing.

I read the book so have been looking forward to this show.


I am not a crazy feminist though. Just curious to see how they bring the book to life. So far...it is fairly close to the book.

one of my all time favorite books
the original movie with Duvall, dunaway and Richardson was very good
not sure why this needed to be remade but whatever

I actually kinda like the way some familiar tunes were presented in unfamiliar/counterintuitive ways.
