Looks interesting and has Jason Isaacs in it. It appears to be a sort of scifi psychological thriller so I am intrigued.

DS got a few sound bites out of Jason here> http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/fe...acs-interview/
Frankly, I always find screencaps of people hooked up to weird looking machines freaky and those two are no different! |

I'm not sure what to make of it yet after watching episode 1, but I kind of wish there was one episode per week so we could discuss it and speculate between episodes without the risk of getting spoiled.

The last 15 minutes of the first episode lost me a bit, think I need to watch it again and pay more attention.

Otherwise I really enjoyed the first episode so that's another series to put on my catch-up list for the holidays. I'm really impressed with the quality of shows which are coming out of Netflix at the moment. |

I've not been very well today so have watched 8 episodes in bed! First two I wasn't that bothered with but was hooked from the third.
Plus- Jason Isaacs! Amazing in everything. |

The thing which threw me were the opening credits appearing after 1 hour. That's the longest pre-title sequence I've ever seen!

On episode 5, I agree that it's strangely compelling, the darkness of the shows is great

Love this so far, maybe it's the weirdness and mystery. It's got me hooked for now anyway (into 2 episodes).
The actress who plays Prairie reminds me a little of the British actor, Susan Lynch (but blonde, obviously). She's also quite intense. |

First 2 episodes were brilliant, I loved them. If it supposedly gets better I'm in for a real treat!
I might have a bed day tomorrow before the onslaught of Christmas food shopping on Friday. Very much looking forward to finishing it off. |

I watched 4 episodes yesterday and finished the rest today. Easily the best thing I've watched on TV for a long time. Probably since first discovering The Wire.
I can't even really describe the experience. I remember thinking at one point how brilliant it was: so weird, like nothing I'd ever seen before. How could anyone conceive of such a complex story? I don't think I've ever seen anything that combines pacing, great characters, acting, mystery and storytelling like this in just one season. The whole thing was beautiful in my opinion. I know others will disagree but then we all perceive things differently, don't we. Oh and I cried like a baby watching the last scene. |

After forcing myself to watch this and unsure on it at the beginning I actually enjoyed this in the end. Netflix originals are always a treat, all the cast were great but really enjoyed Phyllis Smith in a serious role she was great as BBA. Hopefully, this will get a second season and we can get some answers because I'm feeling kinda cheated right now...
