The premise of the show sounds completely ridiculous. But that’s true for most shows, so I’ll check it out. I’ll probably like it. It’s all about achieving successful suspension of disbelief.
Most people in show business have some fond early career experience with Shakespeare, so it’s no surprise Shakespeare companies get unexpectedly worked into a lot of plots.
It is the most artfully produced television I’ve ever seen. Why shit like “Walking Dead” and “The Last of Us” is popular and this isn’t is unfathomable to me.
Seems to be worth a look to say the least. “Artsy”? Cool, the world needs more art and far less violence. An an Atheist I don’t believe in the supernatural (Or sane Republicans), but the Shakespeare reference reminds me that ghostscan be interesting, even fascinating.
This show is amazing in ways I could not have predicted. I have watched it through twice now and both times there were parts that left me feeling both heart broken and hopeful. This show is legit one of the best pieces of media I have watched in my entire life. “I remember damage” will live in my head the rest of my life
I have two simple rules on what I watch.
1) No guns. Won’t watch anything that relies on a gun for drama.
2) Nothing supernatural. No ghosts, no superheroes, no messages from the grave.
I find these two simple rules eliminate 98% of American “entertainment.”
I love how this turns the post apocalypse on its head. Mere survival is not sufficient.
So I take it there are guns. Yawn.
As I recall one person is killed the one time a gun is fired over the course of the entire series. So, yes. There is a gun.
I get being put off by typical American shit, but this isn’t that.
I believe you. This many people probably aren’t wrong.

100%
Based on one of the best novels I’ve read in the past few years.
Tried to get it from the library but it’s out. Starting ‘Last Night in Montreal’ instead.
The Glass Hotel is also excellent. I’ve read all of Emily St. John Mandel’s. Look under MAN in the fiction area of your public library.
