First two eps are out. They're only 22 minutes a piece...its good so far.

 

[IDAFC21]

shit thats right. kinda wanted to check this show out......

 

[VenomousDSG]

Watched them last night and its a weird show.... Cant really give a good or bad review just yet as the 2 episodes really didnt cover shit since theyre so short.

It's weird that this type of show is not an hour long.

 

[VenomousDSG]

I dont understand the point of 22 min episodes. Makes no sense. Might as well just wait till the entire season drops and binge it.

 

[IDAFC21]

Ok, yep. I'm all in on this show.

22 minutes episodes are a bit weird. But they SHOULD help keep each episode TIGHT. Don't know how many episodes this season is supposed to be

 

[VenomousDSG]

10, so 220 minutes.... Basically less than a Scorsese movie.

 

[sickmint79]

ooh. looks good.

Ep 3 watched.

Still loving this

 

[IDAFC21]

Been a couple weeks. Still keeping up. Just watched ep 5. Shit is tense. Carell is great. but goddamn if Gleeson isnt a convincing psychopath

 

[VenomousDSG]

These episodes are hard to watch given how short they are... im really struggling to stay motivated to watch this.

 

[sickmint79]

yah would agree, longer format preferred or give me 2 at a time

 

[IDAFC21]

I've actually had no problems w/ the ep length. Makes sure each ep can end on a great cliffhanger

 

[BS ISF]

Enjoying the show. Really good last episode.

 

[IDAFC21]

ep 6 watched. finished it up and then promptly hopped over to netflix and watched another episode of Dahmer.

fuck why am i doing this to myself

Just finished up ep 8. I think theres still 2 left? Shows been kinda trudging along the last couple episodes. But I suppose its hard to keep things from getting a little stale when one of your main characters literally cant move more than 4 feet. The "therapy sessions" he's been having with his old colleague have been interesting.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I think this is the next show for me.

 

[BS ISF]

I lasted all 8 episodes and just said fuck it. Wasted too much time on it. Snooze fest.

 

[IDAFC21]

I will admit its dragging on a bit. It started great, but yeah I think 10 episodes is stretching this show a bit. Tho overall I still am enjoying the show and hopefully the last couple episodes kick it into high gear. I'm just wondering how much of this show is going to be resolved by the end of the season

 

[VenomousDSG]

I think it's been shit since after the first episode... Good idea for a show, but the content is horrible.

You know it's bad when everyone is complaining that 20 minute episodes "drag on". If you can't make a 20 minute episode entertaining, you really shouldnt be making anything.

 

[IDAFC21]

Ive always thought the episode lengths have been perfect for what they've been doing. But it probably should have been at most 8 episodes. Much like Steve Carells character, at this point we're just waiting for the season to die. They have done a lotta background and flashbacks on him, but they really haven't developed Gleesons character much, or, like, at all.

 

[IDAFC21]

ep 9 watched. Next week is the finale. Hopefully we get a good ending at least. And if the last line in the episode is any indication

Spoiler

I'm gonna go kill my father. Cut off his head. And fuck his skull.



I'm just kidding.


I'm not gonna fuck his skull.
