It's got the whole spooky mystery atmosphere going on and Matt Dillon actually looks like he's got the role on lock down. Now it's just up to the writers to make it work longer than 10 episodes. Also many prominent actors have died already even though I suspect they'll be making a comeback very soon.

9/10 would watch again.

The pines in this town are very wayward. Everything is very wayward. It's wayward as gently caress.

Also, I want to have Carla Cugino's babies.

It's really more like The Prisoner with a healthy dash of Twin Peaks thrown in for seasoning.

I haven't watched twin peaks, but I've heard comparisons made. Apparently twin peaks didn't do too well so I'm crossing my fingers that this is better.

After watching a single episode, I have determined it has no laughs, and therefore, is not good.

if you like creepy poo poo like this, you should watch the 2009 The Prisoner miniseries, I liked it a lot. just do not under any circumstances watch the final episode. it is very bad.

Been watching every episode. It's addictively so-bad-its-good. Like nobody would ever act like that and they built a wall around the town EXCEPT this one cliff because... plot. Also, hypnotism and simulated crickets and some mystery .

M Night Shamaylanananan says the next episode is going to answer a lot of the mystery questions, and then it'll be hard for me to stay interested, just for the bad parts. omigosh we actually found a door in the wall and opened it... but it sounds scary out there, better stay in helltown... until next episode when just one of us will go out there without the protection of a car.

I go back and forth on Matt Dillon. So far he's been really good. His character acts a little too cool under the circumstances, but that's really the writer's fault.

Yes! Thank you! Someone else who gets it.

My very first thought was that this felt more like the original Prisoner than the horrible 2009 piece of poo poo miniseries remake.

Also this. I think that'll get better once the cast and crew settle in.

I want to see more idiots get pwned by the monsters. Mostly, I like how there are monsters that loving murder people in this show.

I usually don't "watch" tv. I'm on my laptop doing computer stuff and just kind of listen while my wife masturbates and touches her titties I think. Out of no where some punk gets worked by monsters and I was like, drat, he got eaten. Also, I had ice cream.

until the last episode i was convinced that this was one of those lovely lost-like mystery cockteasers that decide to skirt good writing and plot development because the writers are too unskilled to make good use of dramatic irony. now that the secret is out i'm convinced it's all downhill because so far all the characters are made of paper mache and the show has to either become a character drama or introduce a bunch more arbitrary mystery
