This is feeling like The Walking Dead. Take an interesting plot and focus so much on drama that it becomes boring. I'm all for character development but I sure hope things start to happen in the show. This is no Falling Skies nor Colony but it sure isn't The Expanse either. Jury is still out
Let's see... town in the middle of nowhere, once you're in you can't get out, trying to live a normal life inside, dangerous creatures wanting to kill you. I liked this better when it was called Wayward Pines.
They should have made one episode out of the first three with less family melodrama and maybe it would have been less of a snoozefest.
This is a very unpopular opinion but I really like this series. You could see how much effort they put into it, not only musically but also cinematography. The camera shots were distinctive, outstanding fight choreography and funny dialogues. I know many people would disagree with me since it wasn't purely accurate to the anime... But you have to think of this: If it was a full copy of the Anime, it would be quite boring. Besides, not everything that is animated you can shoot on screen. People always neglect that! Therefore, you have to consider this series as separate from the Anime, then you can probably enjoy it.
For me, I enjoyed it a lot and hope they make a second season despite of the stigma
Edit: Unfortuneately, the second season got cancelled. But there is also a petition for it. So if you want more of Cowboy Bebop, you can support them on the following link:

Horrible people and script. If you want rip your hair out, please watch this show. It was amusing at the beginning... but dragged on as the subject/conflict became very old between the main actors.
Absolutely amazing, defiantly must watch if you love a good comedy. I swear Danny McBride can do no wrong.
I recently watched the first episode of "History of the World Part Two" with high expectations. Unfortunately, I found the episode to be quite disappointing due to the bad acting and poor writing. Despite my initial excitement, the lackluster performances and uninspired writing left me feeling underwhelmed.
While I may give the series another chance with the second episode, based on my experience with the first episode, I am not hopeful that the quality will improve. I value strong performances and compelling writing, and "History of the World Part Two" failed to deliver on both fronts in its first outing.
Way too many writers trying to emulate a goofiness and sensibility of a bygone era. A giant line of famous faces and aspiring "comedy world people" scurrying to rub elbows with Mel Brooks. Or, at least the idea of Mel Brooks. Is it attempting to be transcendent and/or higher-budget satire? Is it absurdity for the sake of it? I think it's that so much is punching you squarely in your nose that there's no room for an organic laugh to find room between "Yeah, I get it" thoughts and wincing. What is the joke and where is the punchline? It's like watching "The Characters" which was like watching an hours-long cringe-worthy later-season sketch from Saturday Night Live. Then you have so much 4th wall breaking looking for like meta self-awareness? I wonder if the cast just felt dirty in between takes or obligated and trying too hard to keep the mood up.
It's been a while since a show made me laugh out loud. Love the characters - especially grandma.
Good show with plenty to keep you intrigued and entertained. Short 30 minute shows move along at a good clip.
Contrary to the blurb about the show, they don't blame each other at any time. 8/10
Update... WTF were the final 2 episodes?!!! Completely went off the rails and turned into a typical Hollywood farse - not in a good way. I couldn't roll my eyes loud enough during both episodes. My advise is watch 1-6 and then stop there and imagine how the show ends all by yourself - you couldn't imagine anything worse than the 'writers' / 'director' of 7 and 8.
