good show. the plot/scheme didn't really make much sense ultimately but it looked great, was well-acted, had great music, etc.
did anyone else notice in the flashback where colin is interviewing heidi for the counseling job, they're at some other corporate office and its logo looks exactly like the leaf that schreier gave to the investigator?

So weird that a podcast was apparently made into a good show. I wonder if this will be more common in the future (doing audio proof-of-concept versions of shows to sell them).

there's a whole article about that trend. though it's oddly centered around "dirty john" which was an article before or at the same time it was a podcast and was, you know, real life before that

The investigator's boss and her phone call brought to mind phone Breaking Bad's Lydia.
I'm was getting a feeling that maybe part of the military's aim was to be erase something specific that Walter and his team saw/did on tour, and that the boss call had something to do with this.
Good show. I thought the acting/writing was clunky in the first episode but then I caught on to the Twilight Zone vibe.

this could have been in done in one episode of Black Mirror but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Acting/music/filming/editing was all A+ and the short episode run times made for a good short watch.

disappointed that Shea Wigham doesn't seem to be in this. It also looks a little by the book.

I really liked s1. I've probably thought more about that season of TV more than most. This one seems a little more basic, yeah. What happened to all of the fun aspect ratio stuff.

This is not very good, sadly. It's now bad and still watchable but it's much more mundane and it just seems like another one of these kinds of TV shows, stylish in a banal way. Homg Chau seemed such a weird uneasy presence at the end of s1 and I thought that had so much potential, sadly they went another way with her character.

Hong Chau, that is.
i had a similar letdown with the second series of the podcast, but oscar isaac not being in it probably had just a leeetle bit to do with it

NOT bad, that should have said.

Four episodes into this. All I had were general recommendations from two friends; knew absolutely zero otherwise, so the paranoia-thriller mood was a welcome surprise. Went nuts trying to identify what turned out to be Carrie's prom music in Episode 4--I kept thinking Hitchcock--and then found out I'm missing all sorts of famous-soundtrack stuff from The Conversation, All the President's Men, etc.
