    Gave this a go, but really didn't like it and have now dropped it.

    A pitty, as I liked the concept, am generally good with fiction, like Ridley Scott etc.

    Thanks,

    G.

    Sure it fizzled a little towards the end but it's a good enough watch - will watch S2 for sure

    I enjoyed this. It's a little slow, probably could easily have been a couple of episodes shorter, but there's some interesting elements lurking underneath and it does come together a bit in the finale with a fair bit of set up for the second season.

    I have watched up to episode 5 and I'm 50/50 as to whether to keep going or not.

    I Was sold on a few rave reviews and Scott's name, but slightly underwhelmed so far.

    There's only been one season - it's impossible to know if they'll do a 'Lost'.

    Just finished it, really enjoyed it. Not too bothered by all the mysteries, just accepting it for what it is.

    Just finished.
    Not sure how I feel about the finale
    Ragnar is ripping the piss at this stage. Half dead and takes out-
    Who are the useless soldiers in black anyway. are they atheists?
    The flying snake thing was pretty lame looking.
    That was a freaky looking two sided head thing beside the altar thingshape
    Cave art was neat.
    How were they spat out of the lava and back out.
    Love the music though.
    I fear it could do a Lost

    I was initially glad to see some intelligent SF to wash away the taste of ST Discovery but only finished the series for the sake of finishing. I came to dislike Fimmel and I always despise delirium-sequences. The voice of Sol veered too much into fantasy. It asked too many questions and answered none, leaving me little confidence I'll be satisfied by a season 2. Bit of a waste really.

    I loved the high concept pretentious weirdness of it all. Plus bare in mind, Ridley Scott is involved, so only expect half of your questions to be answered.

    "Father" is a joy for me.

    Exactly - I assumed I wouldn't get clear answers and therefore was able to enjoy it more.

    A reminder I must actually finish season 1. Just kinda floated away, distracted by other stuff out there. I liked it, I'm sure I said as much but I guess it lacked that seed to keep me coming back.

    First reaction to seeing that there was a trailer was remembering this show was done well.

    Then I remembered the end of season 1 and the

    dodgy.. cgi flying something..I can't remember clearly

    Anyway, trailer looks like maybe they've had a bit of a budget cut or are having to stretch their budget a bit much.

    Plenty WTF was that moments all the same.

    That's strange I thought the trailer implied a pretty big budget increase and its made me look forward to something I'd given up on after all the nonsense in S1s finale.

    I wouldn't mind finding out they hadn't been cut and had enough to get what they wanted into it.

    bit like the flying eel-monster newborn at the end of the first season 😂

    On my list of things to possibly have look in on again next time I have a NowTV sub...great world-building, but too much going on /too confused to make it have enough coherence for me to commit

    Oh yes! That looks much improved! I'm guessing they just needed that bit of time since the first trailer to get their special effects in order.


    I'm not sure but I think I saw here looking at something like a robot or robocop type thing in a tube.. but it's face was blocked by a rock or something..

    then later it looked like she was replacing her own body.. so.. back to full power then! .. although.. at one point she seemed to be under the influence of the creature

    There were also two more. One for Mother and one for Father.

    I learned in the one for Mother that

    The Creature in the box with the Mask.. was an Android. I think I had be unclear on that one. Had been left thinking it looks alien.
