Ugh... I just. I'm so disappointed...
I was there 100% for the first 4-5 episodes, but then it was a steep and steady decline to the end. The final episode was the epitome of everything that let the show down. I'm struggling where to even begin with it, there's just so many inconsistencies in plot devices and character behaviour, and there's no need for it.
It would have been much better if it just focussed on a couple of things rather than try everything. It's a fantastic idea, some themes and questions it raises utterly fascinated me, but it became shallow and rotted away. It's like they got a sci-fi visionary to come up with a fascinating scenario but then dropped them for a JJ Abrams type who very quickly drained all its lasting appeal for the sake of Lost/GoT-esque twists and turns.

That finale was M Night Shyamalan turned up to 11 levels of weird, got nothing else to add because none of it made any sense
It was rather ridiculous for the most part (I guess that was the point?), but some of the premises were laid early on so it wasn't totally awkward.
Feels like lore-building rather than plot-building to me honestly, which does at least leave room for improvement.

I am struggling to watch this, I have seen 5 and a half episodes but all the bits with the Father and the children is boring as heck. I find the entire food/hunting plot a snooze fest. This looks great but it is dragging for me.
LoL - i got to be honest i was thinking the same thing too, it will pick up again and surprise you with a whole new different direction. Hang in there

I watched 4 hrs of YouTube vlogs of a couple riding a mountain bike over 500miles on the Colarado Trail but I am struggling to watch this.
It's hot garbage, don't waste your time.
I saw it going south in ep3 and it nose-dived all the way to the end.
Final episode was a bit like a last burst of energy from a dying gazelle, head and antlers flailing everywhere.

WTH? I'm... What...?
Wouldn't be surprised if it turned out some sort of AI actually wrote the script. It's the only way it would make any sort of sense of what a total mess that turned into.

Season 2 has been confirmed. Surprised really that Sky Atlantic havent shown this, they tend to whack everything HBO on there.
