I saw it also, I really enjoyed it. Main complaint was that I didn't totally love the disjointed way they showed the discovery/investigation of the dead kid and arrest of the Jason Bateman character.
Reminds me kind of True Detective meets Ozark. I don't really know though bc i only watched 1 episode of Ozark.Just watched episode 1 and 2 with the wife. We like it, she thought it reminded her of The Leftovers.
Also, the dude in the green hoodie looks like a reptile.
He's wearing a mask... ...or is he?Just watched episode 1 and 2 with the wife. We like it, she thought it reminded her of The Leftovers.

He has a really big head compared to the rest of his body.Was really well done, Jason Bateman can do no wrong.
Aren't you in jail?Ep 1 was on HBO last night. Thought it was good. Anybody else catch it?
Thought this referred to a pretty decent movie of that name starring Tony Curtis as Ira Hayes.Ep 1 was on HBO last night. Thought it was good. Anybody else catch it?
Yeah...wondering about the Jack stuff with the neck. I’m sure it ties in with the “cut” Terry got in Dayton but have no idea how it’s all gonna come together. Never read or heard the story so it’s all fresh to me which is awesome.
caught episodes 1 and 2. Really outstanding. HBO hitting another one out of the park.Ep 1 was on HBO last night. Thought it was good. Anybody else catch it?

I think the thing gets who it wants when it wants so not sure it really mattered...The scene with Terry getting scratched in the barn is the only part of the show that bothers me. He mentions he knows it's an hour drive to this barn and he complains that nobody will be there. So why didn't he call ahead, let them know he was coming and to please keep an officer onsite until he gets there to keep the crime scene secure?
Still could have had whatever this thing is get him in the barn somehow, but it's a plot hole to me that didn't need to be there.

Not me. That's another guy.
Because he’s a lazy douche that’s bad at his job. That’s why he spends so much of his time drinking at the strip club while on the clock.The scene with Terry getting scratched in the barn is the only part of the show that bothers me.

He was getting scratched? I need to watch that scene again.
Exactly, I was surprised the poster thought it was a plot hole. They have gone to great lengths building his character to show he is an insufferable arsehole (getting mad at murder call while hunting, drunk fight at strip club, calling stripper a whale, making fun of the baby and mom in the delivery room, making fun of cop that shot the boy, and on and on. It's not even remotely out of character for him to drink beer instead of going to a crime scene ran by the Staties where he is second fiddle and just an afterthought.Because he’s a lazy douche that’s bad at his job.

Wait wut? You think Holly Gibney is next (the black autistic detective)? I mustv'e missed the part at the end, what happened to make you think that?My wife (no pic) saw the end of last episode as a cliffhanger in that she might catch the dead. I didn’t think that at all but now I’m not sure. It made it seem like she was being watched by it. I gotta think her special abilities make her invulnerable to it maybe. Like Wynona Ryder in Beatlejuice.

Well I agree with you on one point and that is King's propensity for some lazy writing, even though I think the drunk cop barn scene fits his character. I'm a King fan, but what worries me and has been a glaring problem for him in the past, is that his endings suck. Many times he resorts to deus ex tropes after building these huge, awesome worlds and characters. Haven't read this book, so I'm hoping this one is different.Plot hole might be the wrong thing to call it. I would argue tho, that just because he's clearly a jerk, that doesn't necessarily mean he's incompetent - he does, after all, seem to be an accomplished hunter, or at least knows what he's doing.
It just feels like lazy writing at least to me that there wasn't someone waiting at the barn for him. Having a cop there to secure the scene doesn't preclude the Big Bad from getting to him in the barn regardless. Hopefully that makes sense - I promise I'm not trying to hate on the show
And I fully admit to picking at nits here. It's a reflection of how well-done this show has been so far. Everything that's happened has been logically consistent, except for this one small thing. Overall I just really enjoy it because how lazy your typical crime show on a network station often is.
