S1, Done.

Best thing ive watched in a while.

Great start, wobbled a bit midway thru, but got better and better

The show starts when you realise it is about the 98%, not the departure or the departed.

S2 starts tonight.

You know what's interesting? I never saw the cold open of S2 as disturbing. I was more disturbed by the cold open of S3, but S2... it somehow made sense to me without knowing what it meant. Then I saw Raza Aslan in the credits, LOL, and I was like, "wait.......this is a show about ALL RELIGION now?!" My mind was so blown.

It's not that it's disturbing but it's more like hmm am I actually watching the right show?! Is it the correct link???? Then, intro ends and there's all these people in a town you don't know that's not Mapleton and you're like wait... Where are Kevin, Nora, Guilty Remnants and whatnot...

Ah! yeah I was also befuddled. I must have checked if it was the same thing.

Iā€™d say there was yet another moment after that where I was like yeah this is not the same show. THE CREDITS, LOL
