Sorry for another thread, don't want to to stumble into an existing thread and read a spoiler.

I am enjoying the show quite a bit, but man...some of the acting is so bad. Is it just me?

The youngest kid in the family, Ethan, might be the best actor in the family. And that's not saying a lot.

Yeh some of the acting isn’t the best. Some of the actors they put in scenes together don’t work well together.

….but Ethan is pretty universally hated on this site.

I think the big lady is the best actor. She’s had a couple of scenes that were really good.

I watched the first three episodes this week. I'm actually pretty shocked at how much love this show gets on this board and in general. It's just spooky Lost with f-bombs.

My biggest issue is that everyone is always screaming at each other.

The kid and his mom are both bad actors.

Starting to lose steam on this one. I’m almost through S3 and I’m the last episode I watched 4 scenes in a row started with “so how is, insert character, doing?”

Same. I don't think we are ever going to get a resolution.

It’s just beginning to feel like a giant puzzle that doesn’t have depth and that’s why they can’t reveal anything.

Watching season 3 now on Netflix. Starting to lose interest in it. So they just had their livestock in an unlocked pen outside at night? And how is there 2 big fat chicks when everyone is starving?

I watched all three seasons on Netflix.l hoping there would be some payoff. The show really goes nowhere, and the acting isn’t great. It is mostly Canadian talent sure to where it’s filmed. Poster who said scary lost with f-bombs is spot on.

My teens told me 2 thumbs up so I watched a few episodes and to me seems like Walking Dead rules but with a different scary thing lurking. I couldn’t get past the WD vibe.

Trapped on a compound like Walking Dead, same family drama with always the threat of the “thing” looming, etc etc.

Am I off base and need to keep going?

Pfft.

It is not. The acting in spots was pretty bad early on. I will say it honestly gets a lot better in the latter couple of seasons at least.

I will fight you right here, right now. Ethan is the worst actor and the worst character on the show. And one of the worst characters in the history of television.

I agree. I think the acting gets better by season 3.

One thing that always bothered me. Why does everyone stay in one house, the colony house? With only one talisman if the monsters get by it, everyone is at risk. That’s stupid.

I’ve only watched a few episodes, but the acting from the entire family is pretty awful, kid included. Kid reminds me of the kid from the strain after season 1, who essentially caused me to stop watching the show. The family’s dialogue and mannerisms are weird as hell too.

Asian guy, psycho chick, smart rich guy, and the priest are all pretty bad.

Black guy isn’t bad, nor is the old lady from colony house. Weird guy measuring tree distance is also pretty good. Those are the only three actors who I find believable

Yes. Some of the acting is pretty wooden. You can tell they went cheap on the cast budget.

Also there are long stretches of episodes where nothing critical happens and nothing is explained. Pacing is off.

Idea and the world is interesting, but I don’t get all the love it gets here.

The acting is bad, the writing is also bad.

The fact that there are no good looking women also doesn’t help.

Season 4 moved the story along quite a bit. The show is only doing 5 seasons so S4 ended with the setup for the S5's wrap-up.
