I love the concept. I think execution was horrible.El Floppo said:
this isn't can't-miss TV. if the concept doesn't grab you, I don't think there's enough there to warrant sitting through 2 slow-developing, slow-paced seasons.
I enjoy it just enough to keep going- we're 6 through the 2nd season.

I loved what I thoight the concept was. The twist turned me off. Not sure if I will try season 2.
The three leads (Julianna, Frank, & Joe) are my least favorite characters in the show. I don't know if it's the acting or the writing or both, but all three bore me to tears.
Juliana is at least easy on the eyes. The German chick Joe gets with in Berlin is even more so.
She's fine-looking. So are the guys who play Frank & Joe. It's just like there's no substance at all there. Tagomi, Kido, and Smith are fun characters to watch. So are many of those down a level who may only show up now and then, like some of the Resistance guys & girls or the assistants. Hell, even the kid characters are more interesting than that ####### Joe.
If the show dropped all the other storylines and just focused on Smith, I'd be totally cool with it.
your comments complaining about that trio of actors? no spoiling needed.
Agree. I think the acting in this series is top shelf but those two as well as the woman who plays Julia are my favorites.
It's interesting but can be slow moving. I've only made it a few episodes into S2 and lost interest for now.
Oh, no; she can act. Her change from "playing house," as her character put it, to her decisive actions in the final episodes was awesome.
I wouldn't think so either, but needs to be a good explanation as to how. I actually like his character despite what others have posted.
They mentioned he got angry, broke the cup and headed toward the bridge he frequents. I think they assumed he jumped, and probably did as he never returned.
I just watched it though. Smith was already on his way by the time the George scene happened. Maybe I am wrong. I got the premise you summarized, just seemed off in term of timeline.
That might have been a mistake in the editing then, I don't recall exactly the sequence of events there.
Nuclear bomb on SF and Washington DC. They don't go into detail on how they achieved the technology before the US or the events that led to it being deployed. We just get flashbacks on the devastation and cities being leveled.
Slow burn
I do but I'd take that with a grain of salt. I'm a WWII history buff and fascinated by the alternate reality concept. So while I watched S2 and enjoyed I can't really say I'd recommend for others as I think it's somewhat of an acquired taste.
I would love to see a series, perhaps this one, that tackles how they conquered the USA. They mention little things like invading Va Beach and stuff like that. That would be cool to see from a military standpoint how it worked out. This idea of a slow burn just doesnt register with me considering there is so much other good things on netflix and prime. And theres no nudity
