the pacing of this show is odd but i appreciate it. most shows would have you stuck in that situation for a long time. this show does big things at breakneck speed

episode must have cost too much cuz uh... that CG snake didnt look right

Spoiler: oh no

i hope he comes back in flashbacks or dream sequences

Spoiler: oh no #2

that pawg had potential

I'm gonna patiently sit back and wait for the full story to unfold but there was some pacing issues I had with this episode. That had to be his ancestor that helped him escape. She was preggo and looked very young....we can assume how that happened. Hate to see George die. He was the rock but I'm sure they have more in store for us. I'm excited.

the plot moves fast as fukk

how is this nikka at his pops crib and attacked by monsters by episode 1

Spoiler

In the book, we're about 50 pages in. Imagine hope I felt reading that.

If it follows the book closely (so far about 80%), I can see a lot of people turning off of it. The breakneck pace does work better for TV.

One problem I do have is that they really are glancing over the relationships. We notice that the George & Atticus are close, but weren't really shown how close, so shooting really isn't as impactful as it could've been. Montrose seems to be hardened just from his 2 mins on screen, but why would that travel that far for him if he's like that to him? And Atticus & Letti have had nothing blossom, at least not from Atticus' side.

It took 4 refresh just to leave a fn comment on here


But I can't even make my usual comments about letti because she looks exactly like my baby sister. Im talking dead Ringer. So much in fact she's been asked if she's done work with her on the show

 

[KingCesar]

Take me to the river


So is the blonde white girl dead now? I feel like she was on their side.

I think the implication is that she sabotaged the ritual. I’m sure we’ll see her again. She’s being set up as too important not to come back.

I thought i was the only one lol. Wtf is going on with the site, I have to keep refreshing to to access post

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Oh lord, I hope we’re not in for a season of people bytching every episode because the story/show isn’t doing what they want it to do when they want it to do it. I’ll have to peace out on this thread if it goes that route.


Show is dope, there’s nothing like it on television, and I’m enjoying the ride thus far.

 

[OnFleekTing]

I liked this episode but my only gripe is that they explained nothing about what was going on
monsters was a big deal last episode and they at least kept a sensible perspective about it.

Now we have magic, a cult, demon doors, monsters and gateways to the afterlife
all the characters regard the happenings in this episode with less shock and confusion then we as a viewer would suspect given that this should be the first time they've dealt with it


I get that the magic was effecting them to but its still a gripe on my end

Sad to see Uncle George tap out
If I could switch the dad with him I would

 

[Nero Christ]

Episode was some Reggie and that snake cgi was laughably bad

some of the CGI I've seen being used lately has been it's even worse with shootouts. Got a whole bottle of cranberry juice spraying outta folks heads....bullet wounds looking like worms and they think they can use dark rooms to cover up for that shytty CGI like we can't notice.

I get practical effects for certain things aren't practical, but they're just CGI'n everything now because it's cheaper

anyway I gotta watch this ep again cause last night I was tired and this ain't the ep to be have asleep for first impression to the ep was tho

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Lots of telling instead of showing, no kind of build up of tension, pacing way too fast, explaining things that should be more fleshed out, cheap deaths, contemporary music overload/inappropriate use of music...they're going to fukk up the potential they have for this show with shytty writing. Seems like a never ending theme with HBO right now. Can someone explain to me why the fukk they're playing Whitey's on the Moon during the most important scene of the series so far? Got damn man whoever was in charge of music and sound for this show really fukked things up with just how mismatch scenes are with musical choices. The music drowns out a lot of the tension and emotion.

Don't understand how some of y'all are lost.

The fast pacing is from the book. Each chapter is a new adventure.

I think whitey on the moon is supposed to symbolize the white folks dabbling in occult wizardry while black folks are suffering. Would you rather the usual Hans Zimmer shyt? Maybe a contemporary jazz number would have hit different, because the show tries so hard to keep everytning else period, but I didn't hate it.
