I fuxed with the pilot. Looks to be ramping up to Mr. Robot levels of fukkery real quick

J, Jonah Jameson vs Whiplash

I watched the first episode of this a while ago and totally forgot. And it was pretty good. So I need to get back on this show.

Pilot was great; I'm in.

Nice to see Simmons get a lead role like this.

early fukkery!

what in the time displaced X-Men is goings on here??

Haven't heard anything about this, but I'll have to check it out.

This is pretty damn good so far. JK is acting his ass off and the way he flipping his personality between the two Howards is amazing. Interesting as hell.

 

[dem bath salts]

Yeah, I'm peeping this. Looks quality.

Ole girl assassin is efficient. Mean with the violin in one world and mean with the gunplay like a poster mentioned, i wish it was a Netflix show just so I could binge and get further involved in the world.

Watched the first two. This was the best pilot I've seen in a long time. Like a MUCH better version of "Fringe" season 2+ combined with "My Own Worst Enemy". Like Fringe looks like people from the "alternate" side seem to think that people from the "main" side did something to them that requires revenge. Even thought they have a higher level of technology.

The interesting twist is that the split between "parallel" worlds only happened back in the 1980's:

This show is kind of boring. Two episodes and I get what is going on, but so much of it is yawn inducing.

This show is kind of boring. Two episodes and I get what is going on, but so much of it is yawn inducing.

It's really really slow. I like the conceit but the execution reminds me of a Le Carre adaptation. I'll still watch but i take it back. Too slow to binge watch.

Interesting comparison that just popped into my head:

It's as if Breaking Bad's Heisenberg from after "Crawl Space" went back in time and was forced to team up with pre-cancer Walter White.

I enjoyed the 2nd ep.

I agree, it’s slow, but I think there’s a lot going on and if it was faster a lot of the slight differences and idiosyncrasies could get lost.

Almost every line someone says reveals a tiny bit about what’s really happening under the surface (no pun) and I’m glad it’s slow and quiet so I can catch them all.
