Toby Stevens (Capt. Flint) is Maggie Smith's (Downton Abbey, Harry Potter) son. He was also the bad guy in James Bond "Die Another Day" (the one with Holly Berry).

The first two seasons are very good but IMO it got way worse after that and I stopped watching it.

This and The Leftovers are two of my all time favorite shows and I almost gave up on both because I wasn’t hooked in the first 5/6 episodes

Both continue to get better and better and are phenomenal. Stick with it

I'm about to start the last episode of season 2.

I think that might be my favorite episode of the whole series.

**Spoilers**








It’s a great show but Flint being gay took it down a notch or two in my book.

I've seen some wild tv, but the amount of gratuitous...well everything is even more than game of thrones or Spartacus

GoT yes, but Spartacus?

***spoiler reply****







I mean technically he's bi-sexual. And it was maybe 5 minutes total screen time for the entire series with those two liking each other. The first scene when you were like "Whoa didn't see that coming" and the very end.

I’m just now watching because of this thread. It’s leaving Netflix in a few weeks.

Just finished S2e5- Wowzer- we’re off the rails now.

wait, is this something I need to watch? I somehow havent ran across it yet, even though I have heard of it. What platform? I can look up myself obviously but I am sure you all already know.

I watched it after finally getting tired of seeing nothing but praise on this board. And it’s fricking excellent. It’s awesome and really fun. And I was one of the hesitant ones at first since the first half or so of the first season drags. But holy shite, once things pick up it’s incredible television.

And the show is a prime example of how certain kinds of character can be done correctly and not in a dumb way.

We did an official rewatch thread a couple years ago, and it was cool.



NOTE TO FIRST TIME WATCHERS: There are some major spoilers on the following pages...so I'd either avoid them entirely or tread very lightly. Some people just can't fricking help themselves I guess.
