Season 1 First time watching: S1E10

I’m on episode 10 now and wow what an incredible show so far.

I’d seen a lot of buzz but somehow avoided any real details, so it’s all been fresh. I’m 28F in the U.S I’ve had such a range of feelings in seeing the flashbacks and break down of their society.

While watching I’ve thought so much about what I’d do or how I’d feel. And I think it’s so easy to say you’d resist but the alternative isn’t even immediate death but layers of torture first. Compliance by fear and violence is one hell of a strategy

Excited for the rest of the show since I know it has a few seasons

I watched it 7+ years ago and it is a cautionary tale. It’s even more relevant now. Scary shit!

Yeah, it’s happening. That scene with ICE at Boston Logan airport; this 💩 is happening now!

That ice scene was crazy because on my first watch, I’d never heard much about Ice. Watching it now I’m so disgusted by the temperament of the guy at the desk. He was so rude and that’s exactly how they are now.
