I just have to say that Ron Swanson would have been so proud of that post apocalyptic set up.

I've been half-watching this show while DH watches because I hate zombie and apocalyptic shows/movies. I really loved this last episode though. Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman were so good.
I told DH as soon as Frank (Bill? whichever?) asked to die, that if it was me, I would just kill myself too. Like you did really well for many years, the only other person in your life is gone, and the alternative is getting eaten by a zombie or becoming incapacitated with some disease on your own down the road? No thanks.
I immediately lost interest when I saw the preview for the next episode though. Back to reading my phone while DH watches.

I had so many good things to say after watching that third episode. I always joke during pandemic-style shows that yeahhhh I'm just gonna go ahead and die right up front because literally WHAT is there to live for. And I feel like this is the only episode of any show like this that I have seen give a good reason to stay alive. I also like that this is clearly some dark shit (like showing the woman and her baby), but we aren't forced to endure traumatic visuals. I appreciate that the show recognized seeing that it was a baby was enough to make us emotional and we didn't need to actually watch a horrifying scene showing it. Idk it just feels so unique after watching shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones (no offense, I liked both but damn). One of the best episodes of any show I've ever watched. MH had to leave the room after to wipe his eyes lol. I always tell H that of the shit hits the fan like this, I'll be the martyr in the right moment for him and the kids to get away because my anxiety will not be able to take it. I read a book in 2020 that was about a fungus that did this exact thing (that I think was an alien substance?) and it had to be contained in a cooled bunker underground in the 80s(?) but global warming heated the bunker to a temp it was able to get out. It's bugging me that I can't remember the name...

Episode 3 had the song that absolutely guts me in every scene it's been used in: Shutter Island, Arrival, Handmaid's Tale and now this.

What an amazing hour of television that was. I kind of feel like that episode will become one of my "comfort shows" that I watch on sick days or when I need to feel cocooned. It was sad, but it also wasn't. It was just beautiful.

I really wish these dropped all at once ☹️ Yes! HBO and Apple TV are out here trying to drive us nuts. I really didn’t anticipate liking this show. I’m kinda over zombie stuff. Episode 3 hooked me, and I really liked last nights as well. So I guess I am not over zombies!

I really wish these dropped all at once ☹️ I'm so glad they don't! I feel like binging shows is the worst way to watch them, once a week gives me time to think about what happened and guess what is coming. For shows that I'm really interested in and care about it's definitely better for *me* (just speaking about myself here!LOL) when they have a weekly schedule.
I thought episode 4 was great. I know most here haven't played the game but they are absolutely nailing the dread and stress you felt while playing it. I also love how they've so far managed to create such real feeling characters. We loved the puns.

I cannot believe I've become this person, but I'm obsessed with weekly shows now. I saw someone say that HBO has always nailed the water cooler talk shows, and it's so true. Every Sunday night makes me feel like I did when I was a kid before my fave show came on. There's just something about watching something at the same time as millions of other people and getting to discuss it together for an entire week before the next one drops. Now, for most shows, I would rather just binge them. But it's fun to have a few special ones that I watch the day they air.

PDQ. So it turns out my friends friend edited the bill and Frank episode. He also did umbrella academy. They are hoping for an award for it.

Also I don't football so maybe linebacker isn't the biggest football person. Quarterback?
I enjoyed this episode but it was so sad at the end 😭

Y'all. The huge linebacker mutant one. Y'all. What was with that? A huge person who was infected? Or mushroomed in size post-infection? I need more answers.

IDK but since most of these shows are worst case scenario I would assume another level of mutation making them huge and almost unstoppable and no longer remotely human looking. Who knows if they'll address it or have that one be a fluke. I always wish each episode was 15 minutes longer so I can have a little more information lol.

It seemed to me to be like a boss fight in a video game. So there will probably be random huge guys throughout the show that represent boss fights.

The bloaters are the big giant ones, and they were terrifying in the game. They did such a good job with that scene where they all come up from the ground. It was so unbelievably scary. The movement of the infected is done really well.
