Well quite a few people watched the premiere, then ran away screaming. Hence my question.

Premise sounds great. Fincher directing the entire season is a bonus. Hope they cast well for this.

This could have been great.  I had especially high expectations when Rooney Mara signed on.  Now it’s RIP

Interested to see what you think of it.

Just out of interest have you seen the original British version?

Have not seen it unfortunately.  As with all screeners that I have received for the new Emmy cycle, it will be a while before I watch any.  I am more relaying when the embargo lifts and what will be accounted for in reviews.

Crazy how long it has been since they first announced this! I’d lost hope but I feel like it is going in with very tepid buzz and is going to disappear fast like the latest season of Homecoming

Well this fall into the Hunters category, it’s not bad but it’s not good. It’s just okay.
timing it’s unfortunate too , since it’s about pandemics.
