Just finished it, enjoyed it, going in blind didn't expect most of the cast to get killed off, didn't really feel like a proper ending to s1 and like it needed more. Hopefully they get a s2 / s3 renenwal.

Did the whole thing in one sitting and quite enjoyed it.
Could have picked enough holes, but sat down, turned the brain down to 48% grabbed coffee and then a few beers later, was not disappointed.

Netflix season is book 1 and half of book 2. So season ends in a mid point of the narrative. Really dumb way to do it.
I bet you can guess which episode was the end of book 1…

5 episodes in. I'm enjoying it, the misses less so, but she's not really a fan of anything with aliens (or hints of aliens).
Yeah too many shows get me hooked after the first season and then never renewed sadly. I got into Shadow and Bone and that has been cancelled after two seasons sadly.

I don't even like watching the reveals for the next episode, at the end of the credits. I switch them off immediately.
No, I don't want to know what's going to happen in the next episode before I've watched it thanks, thereby defeating the point of watching it...

Yeh I was annoyed they started a 'coming up' sort of trailer at the end of ep 1. I had to quickly turn it off! And there's still some scenes I remember quickly seeing that I haven't even got to yet at ep 5.

really enjoyed it series 2 in the pipeline ? 
Most? One dude was a brain but did I miss some episodes or something?
sam tarly, will and evans?
wouldn't say "most the cast" unless your counting the extras on the boat

this pretty much sums it up. tries to be too clever massive plots holes and the end is disappointing to say the least. also its on netflix so guaranteed to get cancelled. like all big shows they do.

Watched the last episode last night!
It's OK, some of the incredulous stuff is directly from the book so you can't blame lazy script writers..
The only real negatives for me would be predictably poor cast choices coupled with poor directing that can't accurately build their characters to be anything like the book.. in fact you'd need to read the book to underpin the characters in to making more sense which shouldn't be required.
Jovan Adepo is too nice/friendly a face to pull off Saul.
Eiza Gonzales as this immaculate girl boss tech sauvant is just inconsistent.
Jack Rooney just screams caricature..
Raj Varma is far too wooden
The only plot/character issues are mostly book related, although Tatiana is a poor misinterpretation from the book IMO they missed the mark giving her this inconsistent super human strength.
But considering how poor Star Trek Discovery was this morning, I'm happy to ignore the poor sci-fi themes from the book and overlook some minor tick box casting issues and would rate it 6 or maybe 7/10 for a 2024 series..
