Is Yvonne Strahovski actually good in this? I'm not a huge Atwood fan, but wanted to give this show a shot, however Strahovski is terrible

"If you find any part of the show less enjoyable than any other part, don't discuss how it might be better, just stop watching" is a really stupid thing to say on a message board devoted to discussing tv.

I call this "TVIV Syndrome", it's how you end up with threads full of people posting :siren: :tviv: !!!!!!!! :tviv: :siren: over and over for bland network hack poo poo and then telling people to just stop watching/ stop posting when they suggest a show could have done something better

Anyway, I enjoyed the first episode. It's been almost a decade since I read the book, I think I'll pick up a copy this summer.

Yeah that was great. Elizabeth Moss is a big indie rock fan so I'm thinking that was her choice.

The music is easily the weakest part of the show, the ending for Ep3 would have been better silent

What is technology like in this show? Sometimes it seems that they don't even have indoor lights, but the scene with Ofglen looks very sci fi

I don't think the math on that one would hold up, aren't most men sterile and best and mutant producing at worst?

Episode 4 felt really different than the other three, like it was made before the others or something

Every scene in this show feels like it's stretched out in order to fill time

That is not much of a path

what the gently caress is with the terrible scoring on this show

It's a solid 70% type show in my mind

100% anytime Ann Dowd is onscreen. Seriously, if you'd told me a few years ago that one of my favorite actors would be the middle aged, secondary character, insane lady from True Detective I wouldn't have believed you.
