Anyone else watching? I'm two episodes in and starting to have doubts. Anyone got much further and happy with it?

Thanks. I was getting that feeling.

First one was great. Quite unexpected.
But it has got weirder and slightly less interesting as it's gone along. Definitely weirder, which is what has kept me watching. I'm up to ep.8
Can't for the life of me tell you what's going on though.

Unfortunately for LC, I've discovered a skate thing called King of the Road on Vice and it's taken over from everything else (except rugby).

Some of the later trippy episodes are alright but it's soooo slow. Definitely dips a bit in the middle of the series but starting to improve a bit now, think I'm up to seven or eight.

Worth sticking with I've found. I'm up to ep7

Sounds quality is really poor. I'm having to have subtitles on sometimes as the voice track seems simultaneously distorted and quiet, watching late at night I can't just whack the volume up.

Must say, having watched another ep, Mopsy & Bopsy are 2 of the best horror "villains" I've seen in a while!

I love this show - bit well made high budget of sci-fi/horror - pewiod dwama - throw in some social class, gender and race commentary - what's not to like?

Not many exploding helicopters or near nude teenagers right enough. I guess yous will have to wait for the Die Hard on Love Island series.

Don't project your fantasies on to us. I prefer my teenagers fully nude. (And over 18 obvs).

This.

I watched up to Ep7, then figured I'd wait till the end and binge it. Just too slow.

I like its pace and relative weirdness. And nice that things are a bit greyer and more complicated than is typical for TV. Surprised that the main characters haven’t become more unhinged with their experiences. Good as well that Atticus deviates from typical male protagonists in being less capable than necessary a lot of the time.
