Anyone watching? First 3 dropped last Wednesday. I'm digging it so far. Since there is no book to compare it to, I find myself enjoying the theme and references to other stories without criticizing the differences.

    Because I'm cheap, Im gonna wait until the whole season is out then do a free trial run and knock out Season 2 of Handmaids Tale as well.
    It does look damn good though. Love all the little references Ive seen so far.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I liked the feel and agree about no book source making me appreciate it more.  Wish I would have waited until they were all out to watch but I couldn't help myself and now I want to know what happens.
    Not sure why Hulu won't drop the whole season at one time.  They already have our money.
    Perhaps they are trying to block people like DD

    I just started watching this on Hulu.  I think it is really good so far.

    I've been watching this since it premiered on Space Channel in Canada, really enjoying it so far, glad to hear it's been renewed for a second season.

    At what part are we allowed to get spoilery, lol?  I thought last week's episode, "The Queen" was really well done, and leave it at that.

    No Hulu in Canada. I really wish King would stop doing this stuff with Hulu and stick with Netflix or Amazon Prime instead. Why use a US-only company? Seems so restrictive. I know I can pay for the Space Channel to get it... but dammit, paying for just one channel bothers me, when I can get almost endless options for only a little more than double the price from a streaming service.

    If you enjoy the genre and shows that jump around in time a little, you should enjoy it.

    Back from out of town and watched the last 2 episodes yesterday, and I'm still confused as to who the Kid actually is, lol.  Time travel gives me headaches, lol.

    I'm not reading the thread, as I think I'm only through episode 4 (5?). I'm enjoying it - definitely binge worthy. The story doesn't really move all that much, but somehow that is working for this show, lol.

    I thought the way it ended sucked.
    Really liked the first 2/3 of the season, though.

    Extremely disappointing series. At times a mess story wise. I enjoyed it up until the last 2 or 3 episodes. i get what they were trying to do, but it wasnt done well Imo.

    Have yet to hear from anyone who liked the ending.
    I feel like it was confusing af and just garbage.

    I'll chime in as having enjoyed it, lol, even though I'm still a bit confused on a couple aspects (around the kid).  If anything was a letdown in the ending, it felt a bit too "happily ever after" for some of the characters (mainly Henry) for something based on Stephen King.  I'm assuming the ending with Molly's assistant means they're aiming to make it an "anthology"-type series (though if the series stays true to King, they'll all connect in the end).  Guess I'm one of the few looking forward to season 2, lol.

    My confusion around the kid is, who is he really, and do we believe his story?
