I watched all 4 episodes but I'm gonna need the other 4 before forming a clear opinion.

Interesting episodes so far and I'm really intrigued by a particular dynamic. . . .but I need to see more.

They're building towards something. The chess board is still being populated.

6 episodes in, 2 episodes left and very little is coming into focus.

The story really needed tightening up. It seems like they had all these wild ideas and concepts but little to tie it together.

Time jumps, flashbacks, multiple locations. This character that character and they can't make a story of it all.

It's been really disappointing. You can't just be a "weird" show

To me it definitely feels more like the co-creator than lindelof. They were both on a podcast and she was the main one speaking. I still like it even though it's weird

Watched ep 6 last night, I thought things really started to click into place for me in ep 5.

Series is putting a lot out there, curious what note they will end up on.

I'm sorry but I can't watch shyt that was made by AI. I need to watch real people with real emotions. I wanna be able to emphasize with a human character.

...Well.

That was a damn good episode.

They might have won me back after being frustrated. I was beginning to wonder if this show had any stakes.

That was pretty satisfying. Hopefully the finale is just as good.

Finished ep 8. I felt it was a very satisfying finale with how things wrapped up. Ultimately I didn't love it as much as I thought I would, but still did really enjoy the show and the different unique aspects it brought to the table. The mixture of humor/emotion/absurdity, etc. Betty Gilpin was great throughout and I enjoyed Jake McDorman as Wiley. GLOW is still my high mark for Gilpin though.
