Terribly boring. Doubt I’ll continue past episode 2. Just uninteresting and not funny.
update: watched the entire series.
still uninteresting, still not funny, the only thing worse than this in the MCU is Captain Marvelloading replies
@tsommerf Episode 4 is for all the whiners.

@solence Yeah they expect all the answers at once. Imagine these viewers watching Lost ?
Just let me get two things out of the way I think were weak storytelling.
First, putting the drive on the hub was the stupidest thing to do as it could only lead to her getting caught. It also was illogical as it was clear that they would just override it and/or claim it as false. Granted she didn't know about the Janitor room but she knew there was surveilance everywhere and because of that might reach the conclusion that all those feeds had to be watched somewhere. But the story needs to go on so I'll take it.
Second, its hard to believe that they didn't inspect the stuff they brought to Juliette or they would have found the note. Even not knowing what it meant they would not have let it through. Plus, from a storyelling point of view it was giving too much away. Would have been better to not show it. Instead they could insert a scene when Juliette is about to break down to explain that she didn't die. And speaking of dying, Where are all the others that went out? Does someone actually go out to collect the bodies ?
Now, for the big reveal at the end I have to say I didn't see that coming. After making us believe (and I did) that it is safe outside, not only do we learn it is not, but there are literally dozens of silos out there. Does that mean the whole of mankind lives underground ? My guess is that each one thinks they are the only one and each one does have someone taking care that it stays like that. But we still don't have an idea about why ?
There is one thing I noticed that I want to point out. When Juliette told Holland about the door below he seem genuinely surprised. As if he didn't knew. That was the moment he ended the conversation. Just saying.
So, I don't know the books but from reading elsewhere I understand we barely scratched the surface of the story. I wonder how slow they will go with this one. The second season is already confirmed but thre is always the chance of not getting a third, or forth, or however many they need to play this out.
I sure hope we're not getting left hanging in the air atsome point.

From what I understood, the image on the helmet (and not on the silo's screens) is digitally manipulated, meaning they're all still there, as dead as they can be, just like we see on the silo's screens. Juliette seemed to have felt a body right before she left the previous sheriff's star on the "ground" (you can clearly see the distortion in the image), assuming it was his body, maybe by recalling the approximate location of where he fell when he went out cleaning.
I think something in the suit is keeping Juliette alive, unlike the others (is it the tape?), but most likely not for long (the air doesn't look breathable out there). Which leaves me very, very curious to see how will she stay alive in the second season's premiere.
I also wonder where does that door below lead to, as the final scene didn't seem to show any sort of alternative exit (which was what I assume that door would be, an exit out of the silo). I'm guessing it's a door to other silos.
Comedy? You mean there's supposed to be humour in this? ... Uh. Okay then. Can't tell where, but whatever.
The acting is solid, although I'm not sure it's enough to carry the movie as a whole on its back. In trying to offer criticism, I think it ends up being just like the thing it criticises: cold, obsessive, and indeed in Margot's very own words: "fancy, deconstructed avant-bullshit". After which we are left hungry, too, because despite all the display, there isn't much substance to it at all.loading replies
@yellowheart I rarely laugh at any movies but I genuinely had multiple laugh out loud moments. I'd disagree completely, I think this subverted exactly what anyone would expect the movie to be about. I left so full I went to bed thinking about the movie a lot
