It's great. As a fellow Nordie its always a pleasure hearing Jamie use his normal accent, and our colloquialisms/way of speaking!

Also, the drama itself - it starts one way and then does not go the way you think. But stick with it! A glorious ride!

Very fun and very twisty. Loved every second.

Curious about this one, looks like the writers are the ones who wrote all episodes of The Missing and Baptiste.

I watched the first episode and I am intrigued.  The shock revelation at the end of the episode about the connection between Jamie Dornan and

Spoiler

the waitress had me reeling.  She's his girlfriend?  But doesn't want anyone to know?  She knew that particular table would be bombed at precisely that time, so she purposely spilled the lemonade on his crotch so he wouldn't be sitting there at the exact time?  But then why did she delete the photos?

I wish the police lady would give him a name to call him by.  I know in the credits he is listed as "The Man" but it just seems so strange.  Why doesn't she just pick a name to call him by.  Instead it'll be like Jerry Seinfeld trying to remember Mulva/Dolores' name.  "Hey...... youuuuu."

Not sure if we need spoiler tags or not since all of the episodes have released on HBO at once, but I added just in case.  If there isn't going to be a full forum with individual episode threads then it seems safer rather than spoil people who haven't seen a particular episode yet.

I watched the trailer and said I am in.  First ep was good and pretty interesting. I like twisty stories so I hope those twists and turns turn out good.

Following, and I’ll be back when I’ve finished the show.

I hate the forums where all the episodes are clumped together. I always wind up getting spoiled But I guess this is the only one we have so far? 
just finished the first episode and it’s keeping my interest so I’ll keep watching. I just tried to watch the travelers and glitch and had to stop they both stunk in my opinion

Loving this so far. Jamie Dornan was fantastic in The Fall, it's nice to see him in a good show again (since I haven't seen Belfast yet). The actress that plays Helen is really good, immediately engaging and sympathetic.

This is the first role I've seen her in where she has her real accent. She's done lots of US TV and after I saw her in a show where she played an American rapper, I was shocked to find out she was Australian. 

We just finished the series. I tried to stretch it out but ended up watching it all in two days. 

I loved all the surprises. I'm hoping there's a second season.

She was the teenage daughter in “Dumplin’” with Jennifer Anniston a few years ago. It was pretty good.

I loved every episode of this. Felt very much like a mix of Fargo and No country for old men. Great acting, the plot was interesting and the way the story unfolded was top notch. Unpredictable and smart. Got nothing but good to say about it. 

If they go for a season two I hope they will go the Fargo route with a complete new cast and story.

I'm very late to the party! But one episode in, I could be in for the ride. This isn't my usual, but friends highly recommended it (we're apparently stumbling onto things these days--LOL).
