Victoria and I powered through this over the weekend thanks to the snow storm. Absolutely loved it. Anyone else watch?

Watched the first episode and enjoyed it. We will continue to watch it but it takes us a long time to slog time shows now adays.

Yea, it's a really great show, mostly because of the actors involved. I think lesser actors would have made this a mediocre show at best.


Not sure how I feel about the ending, feels like it just kind of.....stopped.

I also powered through it in 2 days. Love watching the shorter episodes because you can roll right through them. As for the show, I liked it. It was kind of funny and gross at the same time. :tup

I liked it. I feel like they left every character arc and the story as a whole 100% open. Netflix can take it any direction they want and won't be pigeon-holed by some cliffhanging plot point or a recently introduced antagonist. I don't have the slightest clue what's coming next, and I think that's kind of cool.

I get that, but I feel like seasons should serve as chapters or something and should have some kind of conclusion to that particular story arc. This felt like half a season where it just ends and absolutely nothing is concluded or has a sense of resolution.

I guess we kind of did. The mother's condition has gotten bad on two fronts, 1) she's decomposing, 2) she's so certain she might eat a member of her family, she had herself chained up. With the father now in the mental institution and the mother having to be in chains, where does the human meat supply going to come from? Are the kids going to go hunting?

Yeah, in the last episode. The cops found him spinning that old lady around in the chair with a bucket on her head. He ended up talking to some kind of mental evaluator and got taken away to the psych ward by two dudes in white.

Wrapped up season 2 last nightt. I thought it was a really solid season. Too short though. I hate waiting a year for a new season and being able to finish it in 2 nights.

It's such an easy show to "binge watch." My wife and I just finished Season 3 in 2-3 viewing sessions  :lol

It's definitely one of my favorite Netflix originals. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore are excellent together. The cast as a whole is just awesome.

I think season 3 was the best yet.

Yeah. I really bummed about that. Pissed actually. This show did nothing but pick up steam the further it went.
