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.
