S02.E03: Strangers on a Train

[OtterMommy]

Quote

Two strangers meet on a train from Galway to Dublin in March 2020 and decide to go old school: no numbers exchanged, only a promise that they will meet up on the train two weeks later. And then a worldwide pandemic shuts down all of Ireland.

I thought this would be better than it was. The supporting characters were more interesting than the leads.

It's the first season 2 ep I watched. The others? Not so fast.

I agree with buttersister.  It was rather disappointing but okay.  The brother and especially the mother were more interesting characters.

Well, what the hell? 

Hated that they incorrectly referenced "Before Sunset" instead of "Before Sunrise." They even showed a clip from the correct movie! 

The "Game of Thrones" reference was meta, a little too on the nose.

I read the true story which was different but interesting in it's own way. The guy doesn't know about the story yet.

I yelled at the tv, “Wrong movie!” But I was happy to see the clip from the movie. 
 

And I laughed at the GOT reference. Probably because of the blank stare Kit gave his brother. 
 

 I liked it more than others seemed to. It was no “Before Sunrise,” but the characters were enjoyable. And I’m glad the brother turned out not to be a jerk. He was just messy. And horny.
