This show is such a masterpiece it's amazing

Always dread looking at the clock shit ends to fast even though they are longer then an hour!

Good buildup ep

This show keeps on pumping out amazing episodes.


The writing is top notch and right up there with any other show to ever air.

So finally caught up w/ season 2. I thought Season 2 has been pretty good so far but Episodes 4 & 5 just took it up a notch to another level, both GREAT episodes. Love this show.

Episode 4 is in my top 5 for TV episodes.

It was Lisa Joy's (Nolan's wife) directorial debut, which is weird because if anything the episode stood out because it seemed like it was directed by a great veteran director. It had a totally different feel than any other episode in the series in a good way. Plus this scene might be my favorite of all time



Ed Harris is the fucking man. He is absolutely killing it this season.

Agreed.

I just hope they have a plan to end the show. As perfect as it is, nothing can remain this good for too long. One of the reasons I love HBO so much is their ability to actually end shows when they're still good. It's obviously painful when this happens, but nothing is worse than slowly watching a show you love get more and more convoluted to the point where it's unwatchable and then there's never any closure. Always just another mystery. Fuck that noise. Give me 3-5 seasons of perfection and end on perfection, that's all I want. This show has a TON of potential and during it's first season we were already talking about it possibly being one of the best shows of all time, but halfway through the second season, I think it's all but guaranteed that it's going to land in the top 5 of all time regardless of what it does from here on out, it's just that fucking good.

Both Nolan and his wife have said they have the basic outline of the show and it's 5 seasons long. Obviously shit could change but I would be surprised if they drag this out. They seem to care about quality over quantity.

5 is perfect. When I said 3-5 I was hoping for the higher end of that, but I just want it to have an end in sight, since that's the only way to be actively moving towards something from now until then. It's the reason I refuse to watch network television or netflix shows anymore. They don't have a point. They seem like they're building to something, but they just keep going and going until watchers fall off a cliff and then they end the show in a hurry but it's too late, the show is already shit.

couldn't agree more

Yeah thankfully they already have their story already mapped out. It's possible it could go on for more seasons but it will still be the story they already concocted and it won't be some shitty end of the season full of mediocre writing to cash grab.

This is what Nolan said about it :

“When we wrote the pilot we thought we’d get a bit further [into the story during season 1] than we did. The shape of the season emerges as you get down to writing. We want to feel like the show is rocketing ahead, and want to be fearless. We have an idea about how this breaks down but it’s not so much the number of seasons but the ambition of the story we’re telling.”
