Eh, The Family was better (even with all its ridiculousness and suspensions of disbelief on the viewer's part). AG could be a 6 part mini series. As it is, it is dragging.

Wow, this sounds like a missed opportunity. Despite the low rating, I enjoyed Eric Roberts voice a cat in that "A Talking Cat!?!" film. If you want to see a weird dude voice a cat with heartwarming consequences, check that out!

Steve turned out to be a standup dude in the end, but part of me really hoped for Nancy to choose Jonathan outcast guy for a bf…

How do any of the synths have money to do anything? Like how did Niska buy a train ticket, when she had to steal someone's shopping at the mall just to have clothes in the 1st or 2nd episode? Did Leo have a trust fund that he is doling out or something? So many Q's…last one…so did Karen actually apply to become a…

I agree. I mean with such rich elements to create a new sci-fi cautionary tale, they really cut corners on universe-building to the detriment of the show's duration. I think sometimes onteresting ideas get derailed by creative and business teams that dismiss the audience's intelligence. #1 way to lose ratings.

Maybe the Abbies are created from a disease vs evolution? They really don't know as they are still studying them. Would be cool if the townspeople turned into Abbies after eating veggies from the external soil…would at least spare us from a 3rd season!

If you can figure out cryo, then by that train of thought keeping the soil healthy to grow within the walls could have been figured out too. I guess tech-wise, they are somwhere btwn what we see and Star Trek…a pretty vast swathe of time.

I just assumed they were carnivores. So many plot points to rationalize/assume away…

Right? Did this new season's crop of directors/showrunners/writers even watch the first season?

Does Theresa just live in her house all day, or now she does because she is on house arrest? I am confused about the role of adults in this world. Are they basically slaves to the First Gen? Some they trust, some they don't?

I am very dissappointed in this season. There was so much cool fodder for a new kind of post-apocalypric world, but the premise has fallen flat and boring. The first and second eps could have been combined into one ep as not very much happened. I won't be continuing to watch.

Completely agree and couldnt put my finger on it! I hate watching a character that I barely know (nor care about) go thru all that confusion again.

I too miss the spooky strangeness of the first season. Now it's like Hitler youth have taken over the town, and nothing is as subtle or interesting anymore. I am having a hard time telling the new young leader dudes apart…they all kind of look the same to me. Also, I am very confused as to why the Abbies at the end…

I do agree that at the heart of the show is a very real and poignant exploration of her struggles with mental illness (esp. in the fraught sexist landscape of popular comedy/entertainment), but in this day and age it's hard for me to give a free pass on basic casting and staffing decisions. It's like SNL making that…

Agreed. Their cartoon is boring, but I think nerdy Black guys like them. At least my husband chuckles at their humour, but I don't get it.

Exactly my sentiment. I am annoyed that this ep may be her "Get Out of Jail Free" card when it comes to actually including a more regular diverse cast.

This ep had some good insights on race, but the first thing I noticed about this show (at least in the first 2 eps) was that it had virtually no black comedians or actors and the only Asian people were part of some crazy scenes like with the ramen commercial and game show. Just leave the "race" episode out and…

Now THAT would have made for a superior plot twist!

Maybe Portland is akin to Buffy's Sunnydale "hellmouth"status for some reason, but for the Wesen world. That's the only thing I can think make sense of it.

I think much of the odd behavior and isolation is a comment on what grief does to you, how it changes you mentally and physically.
