WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,602 User: 88	9zG9RuJb3QU Has anybody else watched this or been watching it? When it first popped up on my radar I was not quite sure, the concept seemed farfetched and trying to appeal to children and adults can be so hard sometimes, it took Marvel a while to really get there for example. This has been getting excellent critical and audience reviews though. I've watched the show and they do get the tone absolutely spot on. The two lead characters are fantastic and somehow it works. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't already, really hope Netflix grant a Season 2 after being cancel friendly so often!

Somehow the trailer on Netflix itself when I'd seen it hadn't made me want to watch it at all but it's so much more than just hybrid babies.

I thought this was gloriously odd and both extremely emotional and thrilling at the same time, with some excellent characters, it obviously hits a lot harder in a post-pandemic world but even without that, I think it works really well. Been commissioned for a second series too! I'm glad as I was NOT prepared for that many cliffhangers and for all the stories to intertwine!

Both Gus and Big Man are compelling, interesting characters that bounce off each other so well. I'm not even finished season 1 yet (just seen the flashback episode so only the finale to go....!!!) but I'm hooked, it strikes the balance so well between the depressing outside world and the optimism and hope of Gus' world. I see it's been renewed for a third and final season too, so I'm delighted it'll get a proper conclusion (not a certainty on Netflix as we all know)

I would be prepared for that finale though </3 I'm three episodes into S2 and it's a little slow paced but I'm hoping the storylines can converge to a satisfying whole. Been so little discussion I've seen elsewhere, so I guess in that sense I'm glad it has one last season so it can have a chance to conclude rather than being cancelled.

I think S2 suffers from being set predominately in the same places as opposed to the excellent S1 which felt much more like a classic LOTR/His Dark Materials style quest story meeting new characters as they go. The set up for S3 does look more promising though and I'm definitely glad they are drawing it to a satisfying close given we all know Netflix!
