I'm an unabashed Vince Gilligan fanboy, and am hoping this show is as good as his other work

Vince without the mustache and chin hairs looks so weird to me.

Excited for the show, but I still don't understand why Apple says a show premiers on Friday and then is released on Thursday evening. They did the same thing for Severance. Doesn't really matter, but still seems odd to me.

I have zero clue what this show could be about or where it will be going, which makes me want "in" even more.

Feel like I am seeing a resurgence of highly original and creative content again, which is refreshing.

Stoked for this, maybe she will finally win her Emmy.

Ive noticed the releases are like that for most of their shows, at least the ones I've watched.

Looking forward to this one.

I genuinely have no idea what to expect from this show and am not even certain how excited I would be if it wasnt a Vince Gilligan show.
But it is, so I am

The review embargo is over so they've started to drop. All great from what I've seen. But Rhea especially is getting crazy good publicity.

The only reason I can think of is to split the spike over two days instead of one.

Holy cow, guess it was eagerly awaited, appletv just crashed lol.
I was about 30 minutes into episode 1. My review to now…quirky, pays nice homage to b movie horror and sci fi, Seahorn is great.

Yep still had 20 minutes to go before mine crashed
Like what I've seen so far though, Seehorn is great

Back up, finished Ep 1, some additional thoughts.
A huge departure for Gilligan, but it's clearly his. Same attention to small things, slow burn, well paced stuff he always does.
I read it has a 15 million an episode budget, definitely didn't feel like that watching it…well made, well produced, but it didn't throw money at FX, it was very plot driven. Money went to the right things.
Massive potential for this show.

Oh and 100 percent on RT with the first 23 reviews.

Dis gon b gud

10/10 first two episodes

Plot sounds like an X-files monster of the week episode turned into a whole series. Which seems like a good idea.

And Apple TV just crashed

They're just a small up and coming start up so guess we've gotta give them a break

Ah okay. Thought it was somehow just my TV.

I loved this so far. Crazy plot. Typical Gilligan. Dude can film anything and make it the most interesting thing you have ever watched.

Sign me up for the tank - I'm ready!

After Episode 1, it reminds me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The crowd is more friendly, however.

This is a full series of the Unity episode(s) of Rick and Morty, and I'm here for it.

They just stole the plot to the Futurama movie "Beast with a billion backs". How lame.

She's hard not to root for.

I find her hilarious

Not an original premise (so far) but the implementation and production quality is top notch. I really hope we see more about how the virus deals with aligning infrastructure with its peaceful philosophy. I'm pretty sure the population of the entire world could survive without animal protein but it's not something that would be possible overnight. Once they exhaust the existing food supply there might be some issues.

Yeah, they definitely made a point of mentioning that multiple times, so I think it'll come into play.

I'm 100% in. First two episodes are very very good
