Do we ever find out what happened to the black cop and his pregnant wife (and some other woman)?  I think I'm about half way through and that scene happened a few episodes back.   The only mention I recall was him taking leave to be with his pregnant wife.  

I don't think they say, but you know damn well what happened to them

The story was all over the place like an aggy trying to find a sheep it hadn't fucked.

The black lesbian FBI agent and her dying mom storyline seemed totally unnecessary. In fact, I found her character fairly annoying.
 

the show was entertaining but not spectacular. Could’ve done a lot more with the premise.

Yeah, that was a terrible attempt at trying to give her character depth. It just felt like a random and incomplete storyline.

Next question.  How did Ted Mosbey seem perfectly fine an hour after getting stabbed in the gut?

I’ve gone through 7 episodes. I enjoy it. I also enjoy coming to Surly to find threads on shows and seeing just how far off my view is from many of the other viewers.  Looks like there’s not a ton of enthusiasm for it, but I’m hoping they give it another season.

Sounds like 5 seasons have been planned by the creator, but they haven't been renewed for season 2 yet.

I don’t remember the episode but Millie and her boss mentioned the murders of the Florida detective and his family in relation to the Nazi plot and I think she tells Jonah and Murray about it when she starts working with them.

watched the pilot.  i found it to be a bit of a slog.  i don't like nazis (i mean, those guys are real jerks), but i feel like the same story could have been told in about 1/2 the time.

The group that runs Auschwitz came out pretty strongly against it, particularly around the idea that the creators made up atrocities at the camps (e.g. the chess game).  There is not a ton of goodwill with the show either.  It wanted to be silly violent like The Boys at times (the opening scene), then tried to be very serious  (see the Simon Wiesenthal scene and a lot of the flashbacks to Auschwitz).  I don't think it can be both.  

It was entertaining enough.  But they also still need to explain the age of the lead vis a vis his grandparents. 

Spoiler

I am sure that they are going to try to get some big star like Alan Arkin to play his real grandfather (he's really alive!) after the reveal at the end.

It peaked at the opening.

after that meh.

[Jack Straw 2,954]

couldn't even make it through the first episode.  the dialogue is terrible.  the opening scene was so bad i figured it had to be one of the character's dream that he/she was going to snap out of.

[BonzoMontreaux 1,040]

Watched the whole thing.  I don't care if I ever see another episode after the ending.

[jeevsie 3,734]

Finally finished it.  Pretty much take it or leave it.  And for that, it gets a rating of "disappointing" since it has Pacino.

The reveal is so......meh.

I am starting ep 10 now.  The show is a mess.  
And the age of Jonah makes no sense.  If he is 19 in 1977, he was born no later than 1958.  Which means his mom, presumably born after the war, was 13 when she had him?   How does that get out of the writer’s room?  

finished the season (watched the first Ep back in Feb and something seemed off) didnt start watching again until this weekend, but again something was telling me things didnt add up. I wasnt able to figure out what was wrong until i started doing the same math you did and it gets ugly. 

the age issue is even worse when you think about it. The absolute earliest his mother could have been born assuming Meyer and Ruth bumped uglies the moment they were liberated would be  Jan 1946.   and as you pointed out the absolute latest date for him to be 19 in July of 1977 would mean he was born in May/June of 1958.  making his mother 12.5  years old when she had him, which if you consider the 40 week gestation period, takes you to an even younger age for her to be when pregnant.....   plus the story tells us she bled out at his death... i guess thats the only thing that makes some sense if she was that young.  But christ, the story is dark enough already, now you have me doing the math of how a kid is 19 years old in 1977 yet his mother was born in 1946....    barf. 

 

complete and total fuckup by the writers there.  It like they somehow added a decade to the storyline in their brains and completely overlooked basic math
