Anyone been watching this? It's rather good. Feels more like it should just be a film but I'm enjoying it for what it is.

I've been watching this, but I still have to watch last night's episode, as I watched How To Get Away With Murder on Universal which was rather good it exceeded my expectations.

I've watched the whole series.

It's really good, but often struggles with it's pacing. There are some real high points to the show towards the end, but overall the pacing is just lackluster. Characters disappear for 4/5 episodes then you're expected to remember who they are an their significance. The kid actor is so bad it's unreal.

Yeh that comes with stretching out the books into 13 episodes instead of just a long movie. Saw this weeks episode there and no NYC still seems to not realise whats going on lol!

This is fast becoming one of my favourite new TV shows, Weds episode was so good, pity Sean Astin didn't last to the end of the series, didn't see that coming. I might have to read the books.

I watched Season 1 but by the last episode I was sort of over it. I didn't realize it was back for Season 2 until about a week ago and I watched the first two episodes but I found it boring so I've given up on it. I really don't like any of the characters.

I'm watching the new series 2, it's good fun. Not one to be taken that seriously as it's bonkers. Those kid zombies are nuts.

I'm watching the new series, but I haven't got round to episode 2 yet, probably some time over the weekend.

Liked the first season but could only manage the first 5 episodes of the second season. Boring doesn't even cover it
