Quite enjoyed it,but agree the conversations were hard to follow at times.Going to stick with it to see where it goes.

I have a feeling it's not going to end with everyone skipping happily off into the sunset Sad

Got halfway through the first episode and gave up.

Far too slow and the lead (McConaughey) makes me want to kill myself. Never heard anyone so depressing.

Good first episode .....don't like formula 45 minute yank shows .....take your time.

Oh and it was in my good books for having the theme music from the wonderful Handsome Family.

Have given up on this.  Too much mumbling.  The plot appears to be almost irrelevant and of little interest.  Not for me.

Did you reach number four Ozymandius?  I would recommend you watch that at least.

Four was very good , as was this weeks and their description on the 'attack' they were under from the evil hillbillies.

The final scene in 4 was impressive...but was completely plucked from nowhere in terms of plot development (as was that entire episode) and didn't fit with the rest of the show from a cinematography pov.  Almost indulgent, there to show that he could create such a scene.

It was after that scene that I threw in the towel.  I can handle character progression or revelatory shows but need some semblance of underlyng plot. Over acted at times too.  Or maybe I just don't get it Confused

Fair summary, it was random but at the end I was just like wtf was that (in a good way).  I'll stick with it.

Finally got around to watching this (watched the last episode last night).

I thought it was a great series although the finale was a bit disappointing. Would definitely recommend it though if you haven't seen it.
