It's pretty bad. I'll keep watching because I'm weird like that(I've watched every episode of Grimm which is a dumpster fire)but it's pretty bad.

I haven't enjoyed it. I'm hanging in for two reasons.
1) FX
2) I have a feeling Stoll is going to be a minor star, and I'm a hipster like that. (I liked Corey Stoll before he was good)

Kind of "meh". Only character I really like is Kevin Durand's Vasiliy Fet.

Okay, I just watched this week's episode and I actually thought it was pretty cool. The dad, kid, ex wife drama bullshit needs to go but the main storyline was kick ass this week

I watched like 15 minutes of an episode. Some old guy cut the head off some demon girl and guy who were shooting snake like things out of their mouths. And then the female character was like, "WE CAN'T JUST KILL THEM!" It's like, ok. Nevermind.

Here is the thing though. Look in the lounge, go look at rival sites, there are tons and tons of stupid people. So when I hear script like that, I have no problem with it.

From reading the books, do not get your hopes up. And the story gets better as it goes..

I got caught up on the last three episodes last night and that scene was one of the biggest head scratchers. They had just gotten done with the autopsy that showed the infected had completely mutated into something not human and now she's suddenly squeamish about killing them. The sudden histrionics didn't make much sense.

Though, on the flipside, the doctor accepted being a vampire hunter pretty easily.

Also, did the scene with selling the stolen SUV seem completely pointless to anyone else?

Gotta say, the last two episodes have really stepped up. Turning into a good show

WTF? This show is awful. I've been patient with it but I'm done after this week's episode (which I watched last night).

No one acts like even a stupid person would act.

- they turn off the Internet for days (yeah right) but the NYSE and Nasdaq don't seem to miss a beat. They could have killed the grid and I would have bought it but this was stupid.

- little girl returns home all dead-like and dad doesn't go "I'm so glad to see you but you look sick - let's go to the doctor now!"

- rock star manager sees long 5-foot tongue eating doctor but doesn't call anyone

- they get attacked by dead-ish people shooting 5-foot tongues out of their mouth and woman is distraught about "killing people"

- rat guy gets attacked by sewer people but doesn't call anyone

- CDC guy has parasites in box that he carries around but doesn't call anyone

- they try to help an infected guy who attacks them with a 5-foot tongue but instead of calling someone they think it better to do a secret autopsy in the basement

- dead people attack others in public with 5-foot tongues but everyone seems to forget the next episode -- no one is called not the media, police, or health inspector

This is one of the stupidest television shows ever made.
