Kind of surprised that there isn't a thread yet. But not that surprised, I suppose, since it's on Epix, and who the hell knows what that channel is.

I've watched the first two episodes, and it's a real hoot. Very absurd, Cohen-esque "oddball bumbling con men" kind of story. Great dialogue and intriguing, twisting plot. Stars Ben Kingsley and Jimmi Smith (young MIB from WestWorld, one of the McPoyles) among others. 

Check it out.

Ha!  I wish I had thought to download that thread before the old place went to shit. 

I haven't watched a minute of The Handmaid's Tale, but I don't know if I have the time or the anger to spare these days...

ran thru the first 4 episodes - i'm digging it.  it definitely has the coen bros ability to introduce a new character in such a way that you feel like you know them immediately, and want them back on the screen.  everything with glenn and the goggles and trip to mexico was cracking me up in such a sad way.  i had to rewind it a couple of times.

i'm loving all the different story threads and the visuals are outstanding.  the split-overhead-shot with the bank/typewriter was greatness.

i have no idea where it's going, but i'll check back in as i get towards the end of the season.

Just started tonight and it’s fantastic.

It’s by the guys that did “Patriot” on Amazon Prime and you can feel it in the show’s DNA. Especially since they both include Terry O’Quinn and Kurtwood Smith.

I only wish I hadn’t started the first episode at 11:00 PM.

How does one watch this without Epix?

Kinda surprised it’s good considering Epix’s original programming track record.  Graves was dumb and formulaic despite the cast, and Berlin Station was absolutely horrible after an uneven season 1. So I expected more of the same.
