Just watched the first three episodes, but so far I'm loving this series. It brings an emotional side to the zombie apocalypse genre in a very lovely and impactful way. Episode three is one of the best episodes of television ever, pretty much up there with Castle Rock's Season 1 episode 7 "The Queen". Very powerful mini story with wonderful acting.
EDIT AFTER THE END OF THE SEASON:
I'm staying by my initial reaction - this show is really worth watching. It's visceral, emotional and most of all - human. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend reading this after watching the finale, as it gives some insight on could have been (if the show didn't get cancelled).

Maybe I was expecting more from this movie, but this really wasn't good. The movie does have it's moments, it can be sweet and caring and I would say the acting is good.
This feels more like a male fantasy of what a lesbian relationship looks like than what these two women with their specific histories would actually do and say to each other.
Having just finished the season/show, I have to say the journey was weird. I loved it, and I especially love that it left me hopefull. Can't wait for the next thing Damon Lindelof makes.
This is a solid nice movie, I think it would've been even a great movie if the casting for Matthew was better. I've spent half the time figuring out how was it possible that Sandler is Stillers older brother, when they look the same age (and in real life Siller is a year older).
As for the rest of the cast, Elizabeth Marvel was just fantastic, she played the role perfectly.
Music in the movie is brilliant, I can't wait for the soundtrack to come out. The movie in itself is very good. Artsy, but you'd expect that from Jarmusch. It's still worth the watch. It's not a typical, trashy vampyre movie, and I love that. I like the story, the way it's told, and the acting is superb (Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are perfect for their roles). The only downside is it's very slow-paced.
I love, love, love this show. Nothing happens the way that I expected it to, the acting is beyong brilliant and the casting just couldn't be better. Anthony Carigan and Stephen Root are absolutely amazing in every scene, and the directing choices Bill Hader made in the last season are some of my favourite in TV & movie history ever.
A lot of the story doesn't make sense. Why was Reva/Third sister trying to kill Luke? Why was she crawling and looked to be dying in the fifth episode, only to get to Tatooine and fight people likes she's just a bit injured?
It's really sad that Ewan McGregor always gets the worst parts of Star Wars franchise; he really was the best thing about the prequels and this show. It feels like they aren't really trying to make a good story or have any character development. Many fight scenes are far from needed. We all know who's gonna win and the fights themselves aren't that well choreographed, so are completely pointless.
This is a really sad story, and sort of sappy but it's good for what it is.
While in no universe is this movie comparable to the classics of cinema, it's probably one of the best of it's kind. It's lovely, sweet and caring.
Jaye McBride was hands down the best, the rest were pretty bad.
Given that this is adapted from the first novell Sally Rooney wrote, but made after 'Normal People', it's bound to be compared to it and seen in a worse light. The show is not for everyone, it's slow and depicts depression and emotional unavailability and one has to be in the right mood for it.
Though, it does feel real, it doesn't embellish or romanticise youth or mental illness, and honestly at times I was angry at the main character. Then only to realise that she is a lot like what I was at that age and that I had no real idea what I was doing or how to communicate properly and how not live in my head all the time.
I love the acting, maybe exactly because it's so subtle and "like real life". Joe Alwyn and Jemima Kirke's acting is especially great, seeing them on screen really enriched the view I had of them after only reading the book.
I love that this movie exist. It's very well done, and it's one of the few movies that doesn't curse the person getting the abortion.
This is such a tone deaf movie. The dialogue is so bad it's phisically painful. When Sienna Miller s character said "Who's Becky with the good hair?" it was just too much.
I really like the concept of this show and am hoping they renew it for season two. It's great that they just put the guest stars in the scenes without any preparation or script and they just have to wing it. Some do better than others, of course but I think this is still worth the watch. Just seeing how confused the guests are is reason enough. Sharon Stone's episode is the best of season one as she picks up right away and fully commits, with the end result being great. I actually laughed out loud when she grabbed the dead mans nipples that even he started snickering; and also when she did a great german accent.
I love that this movie exists. Yes, the story is nothing new but it so wonderful seeing a lovely portrayal of a Black father & daughter relationship. It really is worth a watch if you want something bittersweet and wholesome.
This has got to be one of the best "Elementary" episodes. Great acting by Cassie (and of course everybody else), very interesting story and great music. 10/10 will watch again
This would've been worthy of watching if the editing was better. There was no need to go back and forth in time, telling the story chronologically would've have a stronger impact. Imagine if Breaking Bad was made with a chopped up timeline - it just steals away from character development, continuity and exploring the world little by little.
Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons are terrific actors, but the show would've been better is Krysten Ritter and Elizabeth Marvel had something to do. They are both capable of the same level of acting as Olsen and Plemons, but this show just doesn't give them a single worthy scene.
The show in it self is just okay.
The show has it's ups and downs, has some weird moments that just are plain stupid (khm the resting heart rate scene while breaking into Geroryx khm khm) but it really shines in the moments where characters actually talk to each other, they have all the conversations that they should have. In maaaany other shows I would be practically screaming at the TV "just say the thing to them!", which isn't the case here.
All in all, the show is a good enough watch for us millenials that miss the original Roswell and want to be swoon by love.
The story is interesting, Stewart is amazing & cinematography is beautiful.
The movie could have been longer, but my biggest complaint is that the only Black characters in the movie are only there to move the story along, and it has a "tokenism" feel to it. Yes, it's a movie about Seberg, but given how important the civil rights movement was/is, I don't see why Mackie's and Beetz's characters couldn't have been more fleshed out.
Good acting but the script is very lacking.
This is a wonderful film. I would recommend this to anybody, not just National fans. It's witty, it's heartwarming, beautifully done and just wonderful to watch. I felt so happy when I finished watching it last night, it just made me feel good about myself and about everything else.
Superbly done.
