    Wife and I watched the first two tonight. It’s really well done but each episode is only 22 minutes so far. Just as you are getting into it, it’s over.

    That was our complaint as well. That being said I am hooked. One thing though is the killer bears a striking resemblance to my BIL who may or may not be serial killer himself.

    The serial killer was General Hux in the last few Star Wars. I knew he looked familiar. Had to look it up.

    This show is really good. But the short episodes w the massive cliff hangers are killing me.

    It’s so well done but if they are going to be 22-24 minutes release two at a time.

    Really enjoying it but frustrating as hell with the short episodes. Feels like a show best released all at once

    Wonder how Kenny Chesney feels about being the favorite of a serial killer psycho.

    Idk if he’s a chud or one of the cool county dudes. If he’s a chud. Good fvck em!

    Trailer I saw for this looked really good. Glad it's getting good reviews in here but now knowing the episode lengths I'll definitely be waiting until its finished releasing before I start and probably will binge in one sunday afternoon session

    He has been in so much more than that. He’s one of the Weasley brothers in Harry Potter, but he is great in almost everything he does. About Time was an awesome movie with him.

    I've never seen any of the Harry Potter's. Only movie I have seen him in other Star Wars was The Revenant and he was good in that too.

    That was a great episode. Sucks that we need to wait to find out where this goes.

    They're not trying to stretch this into 2 season are they?

    What a great season of TV. I thought the ending was great, but I can see it being controversial

    I think it was the right ending. Almost everything else would have felt cheap.

    I didn’t love the ending but also anything else was not realistic
    I thought for sure cops/swat were going to bust him immediately after he killed Alan. Was just expecting some sort of twist.

    It is hard for me seeing that not being an outcome at some point but not during the timeline of the story they told. Up until the point he delivered the body and the notes they didn't know what happened to him, so there should be enough evidence to piece it together now. I mean if he thought enough about writing the note to his kids in a way that would get them delivered and he has l already hidden a note on a dead body to alert the cops, I would hope he wasn't thoughtless enough to not do the same about the story of his incarceration or at least just pointing out who did it. He has to still want to stop him. It seems like he didn't do that and that is a bit of a plot hole for me, but one I can look past. Write a damn note and hide it somewhere in your body it can be found.

    Steve Carrell's character acting like he could just go to a Kenny Chesney concert whenever he wants was weird

    I don’t think a middle aged therapist chained up in someone’s basement fully understands the concept of no shoes nation

    Great season of tv that I immediately want to rewatch. I didn’t start until the entire season was done so I actually loved the 20 minute episodes

    Steve carrell was great throughout. I thought his only mistake was not yelling when Sam’s ex wife was over for brunch.
