Yup. I have literally like 5 different ways I can watch shows on all these subscription based streaming sites.

Everything carries then now days.

It isn't better than cable, just cheaper. And more fucking about.

And I don't care about cheaper.

Right now I only subscribe to HBO and Netfix. There has not been enough on Hulu or Amazon to warrant the additional $10 a month just yet.
Its the free shipping that warrants Amazon prime, if you shop enough it is well more than free.

Anyway, I got lost in the middle, made it thru 9, I guess falling asleep during 6 lost me, even though I watched again. But I guess falling asleep almost answers myself if its good or not.

I recently watched this whole series and thought it was fairly good.

That ending though...

Seen 9 episodes so far. It has a major 'Heroes' vibe to it.

Its slow in parts and the editing is quick enough but if you miss one piece of dialogue then you'll get lost. Its a fun series to binge watch but mostly the main perk to the show is that it makes you really appreciate that America won the war.

Vox and Boston Globe totally trashed it. Vox is calling it the worst show on TV. Thats a pretty bold call. I think its definitely serviceable.

This season was boring as fuck for the first 8.5 episodes. So disappointed.

I liked it. It was slow but it had to be slow for Joe to push through his very weird story arc. I bet you could cut out a good hour of the season but the universe is interesting enough that I didnt mind.

Maybe I liked it because the last show I binged watched was Narcos Season 2 and it was reeeeeeeally slow at the end.

Frank's storyline should have been removed, that guy adds nothing really. Should have focused even a bit more on Joe. He seemed like a secondary character this season, even though his storyline is sort of huge...

Meh. I binged on season 2 in just a couple of days, which is rare for me, but I wasn't impressed like I was season 1.

I wasn't ridiculously impressed with season 1, to be honest, so maybe my exceptions were lower than yours.

Anybody else seen this? I loved the book. I know the series will deviate from the text a great deal - they always do - but I'm still excited for it. The reviews on it have been pretty good.

Still haven't watched the Pilot, so don't ruin anything for me, jerks...
I watched the pilot and it looked like it had good potential, didn't continue watching it but might catch up sometime. Acting was good enough and it did a good job setting up an alternate future with the Nazis in control of the USA without seeming too cheesy or unrealistic.

I'm 4 episodes in. Season is pretty boring. Seems to just be getting worse each season.

Amazon going all SJW by making a character gay with a dude makeout scene I had to fast forward through.

I through Episode 5 and I think it's the best season thus far.

Episode 5 is huge

I didn't read the source material, so I didn't know if the gay angle was Amazon's choice or not.

Season One was just everyone carrying around the film, but 2 and 3, the whole world opens up, even though it's not as action-packed.
