Anyone watching this? The first episode was a little weird but I'm intrigued.

I read the book (and I did like it, I like that the main character is somewhat flawed) so I really want to watch this but I don't want to get another streaming service! lol. The constant introduction of streaming services is getting out of hand. Now we have to have HBO and HBO Max? Ugh.
Anyway, is it worth getting HBO Max for this in your opinion?

We get it with our cable provider free because we have hbo. I'm not really sure what's hbo and whats hbo max. It kind of all displays together The undoing was really good.

I finally caught up on this! I loved the book so I was excited for the miniseries.
I think Kaylie Cuoco or whatever her name is is fantastic in this role.

Also caught up. I think Kaley is great, I am slightly confused by the 'best friend' (Rosie Perez) and what is going on with her but to be honest I was wrapping presents so I may have missed something.

Ive paid for HBO for years and I was co fused by HBO Max now. Apparently you need a pretty new smart TV or a device to watch HBOMax app. So I bought a fire stick at Target and I’m so glad I did. HBOMax is great!

I’m really loving this show.
I read the book and loved every page. Seeing the miniseries is like watching a similar but different story. But equally good. Maybe even more so because I think it’s so well done.
I’ve always been meh on Kaley Cuoco but she’s great in this role.

I watched the first episode tonight. I haven't read the book so know nothing about what to expect, but I'm enjoying it so far.
It's one of those shows that MH says is silly and he's not interested, and then every time I glance at him he's transfixed on the TV.

I'm clearly not flying in the right class. Thats my take away.

So I broke down and got HBO Max to watch this show. It’s so good! It’s really fun and fast moving and Kaley Cucco is pitch perfect in it.
I feel like it’s fairly rare for tv shows or movies to be better than the books that are based on but this is a good example of that. The book is decent but relatively typical of the thriller genre, not anything too different, and the show improves upon that with all the Alex/Cassie scenes in her head.

I really like it. I’m seeing people either loving it or hating. I didn’t know it was a book!

I watched the first episode earlier tonight. I also did not know this was a book, I’m interested to read it.
Usually stories like this give me a lot of anxiety but it’s really intriguing as well. I wasn’t too into it initially but by the end of the episode I was totally hooked. I agree with others that Kaley Cuoco is great in this role.

I'm not feeling this season, it's a lot more far fetched the things she's getting away with as an informant but I'll keep hate watching and see if it gets tied together in the end. Hate watching Kaley, I'm really just watching for her best friend and boyfriend, they're the best.

Kaley’s character is annoying and insufferable…sort of how I imagine her IRL.
