Really? I liked it from the start, but it was pretty much exactly what I was expecting.

Yes. The first couple episodes are probably the worst of the series.


Good, this is all anyone really needed to say. Going to fire up Episode 3 tonight.

Black Mirror was like that with the first episode. It was so bad compared to the rest.

It’s the best written show on tv . And there is a lot of excellent writing on tv right now.

It gets a lot better when they find the alien pods and embark on an epic car chase with chicks with big tits and lots of explosions. Just hang in there until then.

I loved it from the pilot. The end when they're playing that baseball game with that maids son.. Roman being a complete sociopath in that scene was hard to watch. They're all horrible people but the drama and writing are top notch.

That’s not saying much. Where are all the people that said this was better than the Sopranos? As with most shows the writers are running out of material . I was waiting for the Dad to piss on the floor again, as much as they focused on him needing to go to the bathroom.

Yeah I was conflicted, because I hate cheap entertainment, I'm anti-Marvel, etc. My favorite show in recent memory is Leftovers, so I'm into weird stuff beloved by critics.

So I felt like I should like it, I just never did.

I really really hated it at first. All the characters are totally unlikable except Cousin Greg and that typically will keep me from liking a show. However, it really hits its stride in the second half of the first season and if you just look at it as how rich people think and act, it's really brilliant. But if you want great character development and for them to grow as people (which I typically prefer), it's not that kind of show.

Are you part of the unwashed masses who "only" gave it a few episodes?

This is the only show that discourages me for wanting to be rich. Miserable people. I do like Roman.

Yes. It is a great show.

It is very well done and it’s one of those shows (sort of like The Sopranos) where every character is a giant POS but you can’t help but watch and root for some of them.

Everyone besides my boy Greg is a piece of shite.

And even he gets his pure soul corrupted.


Even he is a POS, just not as much as the others.
