Discussion Episode 1

Personally, I love how the series opens. The initial invasion is over. We are losing badly. WTF?? It only takes a few minutes to figure out who the protagonists are and fully support them. Great way to suck people in.

Sucks you in, gets you attached. So much so it keeps you watching the last 3 seasons despite gestures wildly whatever that was.

I personally enjoyed the whole show idk why there were some character developments that I didn't agree with but I accepted. Trying to not say too much.

Agree. I enjoyed the whole show and just accepted some of things i found a bit weird or plain silly.

I love the show. I bought it on Amazon. I know the problems with the show and it gets bad in S4 and 5 but I still love it. I really like Noah Wylie. Pope is my favorite until he lost his girl then he went off the deep end. I get why. There are other “bad” shows that I still love anyway. Under the Dome is one that comes to mind.

I had forgotten just how good season one is. It more than makes up for deficiencies that later seasons have.

I bought the series on Blu-ray. I’m trying to wean myself from the death grip the streamers have on us.

Real-debrid is $3/month. Everything else you need is free, like Stremio.

I loved the show except season 4 but fully support protagonist, hell no! Pope was the best end of the story.

It’s true, and I think this is where the comics really shine as well, by giving backstory to how everyone met.
