I like the show. One thing I'm not a fan of is a show having to rely on flashbacks, but it's done tastefully.
Yea at first I was skeptical about the constant flashbacks but it was episode 3 where it won me over.

Obviously they’re choosing concise character studies and the murder mystery over expansive world building, which to me is fine; I don’t really care how their agricultural system works lol. When overdone that’s what ended up boring the hell out of ppl with Silo.

facts. Emotional stupidity has done in many people. I was shocked that it was her, but my wife called it

and you gotta think too: his origin story and flashbacks led us to think we were witnessing the makings of a villain ala the Penguin… when really it was a carefully embedded character study of how someone could become emotionally vulnerable/needy.

It wasn’t until the near end of the ep when I was like yea we got duped, and could retroactively reflect on the prior scenes from the angle not of a calculating killer but of someone being protective/fearful of his adopted family being in danger (driving by the house at night with the gun; telling his gf he’d take the fall for them; etc)

It was great storytelling and what the show does well; just wish they’d have kept him alive. Tho I wonder if he’ll be in future eps via flashbacks.

The first episode was dope. After watching epsiode three I dunno, that was kinda corny. That whole scene at the end was some fifty shades of grey shyt. I like the premise of the show but it got that mainstream NBC feel to it where the writing is kind of corny and the acting ain't that great.

This is like a cheesy, predictable version of silo. But I prefer this type of show over others so ill continue to watch, and the breh is the executive producer.

Yeah soft core sex scenes isn’t an entertainment like they use to be back in the days. Real Porn is everywhere, just establish they had sex and continue with the story.

Elona Musk pissing me off, she's literally a civilian telling everyone what to do because she's rich af. True to real life it seems :dead:
Predictive Programming is too hard on the nose with the current FUKKERY WE are doom with:lupe:

...but, I'm loving how each episode ends with another bombshell:whew:

I knew that Dainty Agent wasn't so zealous:sas1:

Therapist is the puppet master. Gave homie the yams so he believing everything she says. I don’t trust her. Elona just wants to create a world in remembrance of her son. She still suffering and don’t want anybody leaving that place. When Billy said “I’ll explain everything tomorrow”, I knew what time it was lol. Nice twist at the end. This show is dope so far
