We just started this yesterday, halfway through Ep 3. I really like it. Lucy not as much as me but likes it. The lead actor the guy in the picture is really good but man the woman who plays "Sinatra" she's outstanding.
Don't want to ruin it but the show jumps back and forth 5 years back, 12 years back etc so the characters ages change quite a bit and the woman Sinatra character my goodness she's good at playing different ages.
It's pretty timely too with the subject matter.

2 episodes left by far my favorite show on tv right now. Apparently season 2 starts in Jan 2026.

S1 was elevated dumb fun.
S2 has taken a step forward.

Season 1 had perhaps my favorite single episode of television of the last few years (S01E07 - The Day). The rest of the season never quite maintains those heights through season 1 but excited to dive into season 2.

Yeah… episode 7 felt wayyyy elevated compared to the rest of Season 1.
Maybe a test run?? Then when they got the feedback on the new style they ran with it for season 2?

Season 2 just isn't very good. Decent moments, but very disjointed.

Still getting into season 2 and I didn't realize there was only 4 episodes and I have to wait until Monday for the 5th but I do like it. Some big surprises already. It's a different vibe from Season 1 but I'm liking it so far.
So my guess, we know they named their daughter Presley because Teri's is a big Elvis fan, and she was originally from Memphis, so my guess is Teri's mom is the security guard that was staying at Graceland with Annie?
Again Sterling Brown is really good as Xavier and Julianne Nicholson as Sinatra is great

This is a show that could def have a bigger episode order. The season has been so Xavier centric and I’m all in (even though I think it’s pretty predictable, but still fun predictable) but there’s a bunch of stuff going on at the bunker/outside the bunker that I’m interested in and just seems like there’s no time for this season.

It's a filler season.

Okay… maybe it’s best that the show is just Xavier centric because the stuff back in the bunker was really silly.

I actually disagree. I’m just realizing there’s not that much story to tell and this is setting up as a pretty natural 3 act structure over 3 seasons.

For some reason I thought it was 6 episodes. I do think they were awful in ignoring the Colorado bunker for so long, but things there are finally starting to happen.

After watching episode 7, it’s even more apparent why they stayed away from the bunker most of the season. It’s really silly, stuff.

Season two (especially the finale) got a little wonky (but still entertaining). If they were going to drag this on for multiple seasons I would be highly skeptical, but the fact that they are only doing three seasons make me fine with them telling whatever story that they want to tell. I like that the writers are here for a good time, not a long time.

Agreed. Very silly, but very watchable show.

This second season was awful. The *redacted, see below* is groan worthy. We'll see how I'm feeling about it when the final season arrives.
Now we're going full on fantasy time travel with this show? Ugh. Definitely not a fan of this shift.

2 was definitely not as good as 1 for me. The Alexe stuff has a chance but it's either going to be really good or really bad and it's trending towards the latter IMO.
I really like Sterling Brown he's so good in the role and the actress who plays Sinatra is so good in that role but it seems like Season 3 is going to be about other things
I will definitely watch but I'm not confident they can pull it off
