I never realised how sad the story is

Love the gigs you used

heartღaflutter 06-04-2017 12:46 AM

Thanks :) I tried to do a few in each ep thread ;)

It is a really sad story Rita :( What were your thoughts about this first ep?

wickedrum 06-04-2017 05:40 AM

I was thrown by how different this show is from everything else!

MyLastDayWithoutYou 06-04-2017 07:10 AM

I knew i would enjoy the show, and i was not disappointed

heartღaflutter 06-04-2017 12:38 PM

The show is definitely different. I kinda liked knowing that in this first ep that it was a fresh show and different from any other series on right now! :)

It does remind me a bit of The Man in the High Castle, but they go deeper here.

Thanks for starting.

The pilot was so great. Sad but beautiful.

wickedrum 06-08-2017 01:40 PM

All the episodes are sad, but they're always done with such artistic depth, they are nothing but beautiful

heartღaflutter 06-09-2017 01:34 AM

I am just amazed at how the show is shot.. It's really done beautifully!

I haven't seen that one!

What's your fav scene of this ep?

wickedrum 06-09-2017 10:12 AM

I can't think of a favourite scene, I was too bamboozled getting used to the tone of this universe.

Agreed. I just started watching The Man in the High Castle and, while I do enjoy it, I was a bit underwhelmed precisely because I expected more.

wickedrum 07-05-2017 04:44 AM

how far are you in? It gets better and better as it goes!

Slayerette89 07-06-2017 01:26 AM

I watched the first 7 eps. I find it kinda compelling/bingeable, despite it not being exactly what I expected. Have you read the book? Do you think they did it justice?
