Glad to see someone is enjoying it as much as me, CB. I've been telling everyone about it trying to get them to watch it.

we didn't start watching this until after 5 or 6 episodes had aired, so we flew through in a binge watch and now hate that we have to wait week to week.

I realize this is a different show, but to me it has a True Detective vibe to it.

I’ve been watching since E1 and then check the thread after I watch in case I miss something (or misinterpret).. I am all in and think the show is great. I will need a rewatch for sure after everything wraps up. And as mentioned, hopefully it concludes well and does not follow the recent patterns of HBO pile of shite endings..

Gonna have to disagree there. I loved the first 4 or so episodes, but I feel like there’s been a decent decline over the more recent ones. Still enjoy it though

I stopped watching it because of that. It jumped the shark for me around episode 5.

Loved hearing the cuco chow down on this episode. Creepy as hell.

Looks like ole Ralph is on board now...

I was waiting for Ralph to ask that in the car

Creepy episode. This show hits all the right buttons for me. Holly is one of my favorite characters in a while

You might want to reconsider after last night's episode. It really ramped up.

Idk why but it really bothered me when the Cuco was in the back of the car and told Jack to feed him again because that last guy he ate was filled with cancer. Something that I would have never thought about. The whole concept of this show is truly impressive. Stephen King has a fricked up/brilliant mind.

Being able to hear it talk was a nice touch, and those sounds it was making when it was eating, jesus christ. Then when it just started roaring at Jack.

I am a bad show-watcher sometimes, I admit, so forgive me for this question that has almost certainly been answered- but how does the cuco make an evil copy of a person again?

He scratches you to presumably get your DNA. he then goes through a metamorphosis where he goes from old victim > really ugly hoodie dude > new victim.

Also, anyone notice the weird camera focusing going on in last night's episode - especially when driving? It was pretty annoying.

And how about that song at the end last night? Awesome.

Did Cuco scratch the grandpa? I suppose Cuco wouldn't have enough time to change shape before they caught up with him, but it's still something to ponder.
