 I am excited for this. I love several of the people involved, including director Kevin Macdonald (Touching the Void, The Last King of Scotland). The novel is still on my shelf, pristine and unread, but I have heard it is among the best of King's recent output. |

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this. Plus Bad Robot is involved which makes me interested immediately. |

Great pilot. The fish-out-of-water time-travel intrigue is so much fun. James Franco delivers a solid performance. I am eager to see more of Sarah Gadon's character. God, she is gorgeous.  Maybe the most beautiful woman in the industry today.

I'm watching it now and it's decent but I expected something a bit different - it's a little sillier and over-the-top than I was expecting. But it's enjoyable and one has to admire its ambition. The production design and attention to detail are both great. Apparently critics who have seen the entire series say it gets better as it goes along so I'll definitely keep watching. |

Incredible second episode. So suspenseful. Terrific performance by, go figure, Josh Duhamel.

This has improved. I thought the latest episode with T.R. Knight's character holding the two leads hostage was great. |

Just jumping in but I'm not going to spoil myself yet assuming others have blasted through it. I only started watching it yesterday and got through three episodes before I had to go but I like what I've been watching. I just like time travel things in general. |

It's not possible to binge watch this all the way through for another few weeks. Hulu is releasing the episodes weekly (as they've done with their other originals) so only 5 are available right now. |

I found the finale satisfying, though I feel the George MacKay character Bill deserved a more poignant coda. I am not sure how exactly...just a bit more recognition (how did his life pan out once the past was reset, I wonder). Overall, I loved this. It did a very admirable job fusing romantic melodrama and time-travel suspense. |

I watched the first 2 episodes of this and looks good. The second episode in particular was very impressive. |

I enjoyed the show. I thought the book handled the time travel explanation at the end better, but there may have been no way to do that justice in the show. I really liked the last 5 minutes. |

I just realized James Franco directed the episode where Sadie's ex holds them hostage and Bill is distracted during the attempted Walker assassination. Easily his best directorial effort so far. |

Saw the second episode. The time setting is such a nice feat. I already appreciated it in Mad Men but that happened much more indoors and it was more about the mind sets. Cinematography in this show is really good. I also really like the gloomy tone. |

I just binge-watched the last 5 episodes, couldn't stop after each one. Love the show. About what some mentioned before, finally it did feel a bit rushed, although still satisfying. I didn't like memory loss bit that much, and indeed the Bill character would have deserved some more attention towards the end. The take to put him in the mental ward was interesting, although realistically I wished Franco found a better way to deal with it. You could see both of them Bill and Franco getting a bit mental because of the whole situation. One other quip, maybe it was my sound system though, but often there was dialogue during quite noticeable background music, making me find it a bit harder to follow the conversation word for word for me. In terms of tv-shows this is easily a favorite of mine though, love the cast, the setting and the state of mind of the show overall. A- |
