Just the best show i've seen in a long time. I have eclectic taste, so I can watch shows like Mr. Robot, Game of Thrones and This Is Us and enjoy them all and think they're all great. This new show, however, is really, really good and I'm so happy for Milo.

I figured out the ending twist from the scenes in the hospital, but it still carried an emotional impact. All of the actors did an amazing job. I literally cannot wait until next week.

Amazing first episode!

OMG, I didn't even see that twist at the end coming! Maybe it's because I was 10 years old back then and it just didn't hit me right away.

At first I wasn't sure how this show would be when you heard the description, the trailer was good, but seeing the whole show it just worked.

It was really well done, the writing is amazing the dialogue is real, the storylines and actors were not over the top dramatic (like Parenthood could be at times) but it just seemed real.

I thought they might do the twist at the end in a cheesy way but it was a nice, the clues they gave were subtle and not over the top during the show..

Looking forward to next week!!!

Really, really enjoyed this! Loved Milo and Mandy together. Can't wait for more of this. It was a great show to watch after a long day!

I believe you had that twist figured out long ago as well.

It was a great episode, one of few pilots I would not get tired of re-watching over and over.

It really has a good pilot episode. It gives you the story but somehow it makes you look out for more
