Did anyone watch this show? We DVR'd all this seasons episodes and binge watched them the last couple days. I was really hooked on it and read last night it still may come back for a 2nd season.

What were your thoughts?

It was okay. As usual, disappointing compared to the books but expected. Not sure how they can have a 2nd season. I thought it ended where the books ended?

The previews looked interesting but then I saw it was produced by M. Night Shamalamadingdong so I decided to pass.

It was pretty good until the end, I suppose that suffered from not knowing if it would continue or not. Quite a few differences from the book.

I liked it. Good summer scifi show. Plus I thoroughly enjoy Carla Gugino

I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed the books better. The ending from the show was vastly different from the books. Neither ending was awesome, but the book's was better in my opinion.

She is really good. Actually, everyone in the show was good except Dillon.

It is kind of hard to buy him as a non-moronic character.

I thought the show was pretty interesting. The first half, where you didn't know anything about what was going on, what better than the ending.

It will be interesting to see where they go with a second season.

I didn't think it was that bad, kinda like the first season of Under the Dome. I assume it will get worse if they make more seasons like, Under the Dome.

Yeah I didn't read the book (I don't read books) so I had no idea going into it what to expect, but I got hooked on it.

My wife watched it with me and she didn't read the books either. It was fun listening to her trying to figure out WTF was going on the first few episodes.

Yeah early on in the show there was a conversation between Ethan and another guy that lead me to beleive that everyone their was kipnapped and placed there because they cheated on their significant other.

One of the things I liked about it was that I didn't hate the main women characters, which usually happens to me in this genre. (see Lori Grimes, and both the mother and daughter in the new Fear the Walking Dead thing).

We really liked it, but the ending sucked. Last I heard they are not doing more episodes.

I enjoyed the series especially since it was a new show during the summer, I think only 2 episodes I was pretty put off by how slow it was and little was progressing story wise which I guess isnt bad but if your only airing 10 episode that number should basically be zero. Its not like it was Under the Dome where every single episode is nothingness though lol. I have read a lot of the books are about the explorer though so if they did do another season that would be a blast to see the rest of America in the future.
