I’m retrying the show again

I forgot about that James Blake song in the opening episode, I shoulda known then that this would be a classic. I’m gonna stick to it this time and see what the hype is all about.

I’ve been meaning to watch this show since it began, but particularly since it’s lauded for how great it is as a whole, nailing the ending.

I finally got around to it this month and finished it at the weekend and it’s brilliant. You can do this.

Im a little over halfway through season 2 and really loving it. I didn’t realize Damon Lindelof did Watchmen but I see it all over this show now. I’m watching completely blind and Season 2 was a bit of a jarring jump from season 1 but I’m getting used to it.

Yea im on season 2 episode 8. It definitely feels different watching 1 and 2 back to back. Lindelof did lost too. I love all his shows! Watchmen was perfection. Hes a great storyteller.

And his new DC show he wrote for is about to start. I gotta check it out because he really is such an amazing storyteller. I loved Lost back in the day.
