I really don't understand these posts. If you think the first episode is bad why bother with more? We don't know you or what you like...

There are hundreds and hundreds of shows out there, why waste time watching something you don't like? Just pick something else since this show is clearly not for you

Everyone's going to hate on the term "underrated." So will I, but I'll offer an alternative phrase. It's underviewed, and that's because it is on Apple TV. Which is a shame because it is firmly in my top ten shows as of right now.

I don't watch any of those... I considered Perry Mason but just never really bothered, I hadn't heard of Yellowjackets until it was halfway done I think but I'll probably watch it eventually.

There's a few things starting in March but I'm most looking forward to Ted Lasso... but I'll also be watching Superman & Lois, Shadow and Bone, Sanditon and The Mandalorian.

I'm actually more looking forward to April with season premieres of Schmigadoon, Single Drunk Female, From and The Afterparty... and whenever the final season of Endeavour starts on PBS, hopefully won't be too long.

I really liked the first episode. Mainly because it was so similar to the game. But never stop watching a series after only the pilot episode. Give it 2-3 episodes and if you still dont like it its just not your thing.

Don't bother with Midnight Club, it got cancelled... and it wasn't all that great to still warrant a watch. The YA stuff didn't bother me, it was more that the actual show's plot took a backseat to the stories the group would tell. Sure, the stories are meant to be used as a way to work out their issues, but it shouldn't have overshadowed the actual show itself. Though it was cool that some of the stories they told were small adaptations of some of Christopher Pike's other novels.

Flanagan seems to work best with a confined story, instead of trying to stretch it out just in case it gets another season.
