Haven't been here in too long, but I was surprised that there wasn't a thread about this show. This seems like absolutely Xixax-material.

Has anyone seen it? Probably my favorite of this year so far.

Honestly probably my favorite show since Breaking Bad. I've almost made a thread several times. Not sure why I never got around to it.

I just watched the first episode of this yesterday. Very eerie. Love Adam Scott. Patricia Arquette is in this too. And, you know, with the way the camera framing was, I called it that she would be his neighbor. I hope the rest of the show isn't that predictable. But I will continue to watch. I know season 2 is out now. And it's been getting a lot of rave reviews and a lot of frustration as well because all I understand is that the last season left on a cliffhanger and this first season started out confounding people even more. Whatever that means.

Anyway, it's a 45-minute drama type show. Science fiction. Very kafka-esque. That's my take on it one episode in. On to the next one.

Okay I'm all caught up.  I love it, your faaather loves it (#SNLAdamSandlerDeepCut), Conesey loves it and talked to Ben Stiller on his podcast.

This show is a vibe.  Despite the stupid high concept idea, I'm here for it.  Waffle(stomping) Parties?  Egg bars?  The Breakroom.  Too early to say, but could be the next Lost.  Great performances all around.

Loved that super creepy art in S1.  The goats.  The defiant jazz.  Mmm-mmm good.

Season 2 Ep 2 is awesome, maybe my favorite of the series so far.

I'm not viewing it as a puzzle box show, because it gives away too much for free, and there are only a handful of possibilities for where we're going.

Thankfully it works great without any mystery-solving needed. The bifurcated characters will always be compelling.

It also does the very smart thing of enjoying its own absurdity and being funny.
