Anyone else watching this show? We got the free year of Apple TV+ when we bought new phones at Christmas, so we decided to redeem it during the COVID shutdown. Watched a few shows (Home Before Dark, Servant, and Truth Be Told) and thought they were OK, but this one has been excellent.

If any of you have the free year or are looking for something new to watch, highly recommend this one.

Wife and I have been watching it and have loved it so far. I didn't read any reviews until I had seen most of the episodes, and I don't agree at all with the reviews. I think this has been a great mini series. Can't wait for the last episode on Friday.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and say that if anyone is on the fence about starting it...do it, I like it a lot.

All of the performances are great, and overall it's well done. I still haven't read any reviews, but I don't know how they could be negative.

If you like this kind of show, you'll like this show.

Just got a new iPad so I've got an AppleTV sub I haven't done anything with yet. This is on the list after the Beastie Boys doc and probably Amazing Stories because nostalgia.

Happy to hear other recs if you've got em.

As I stated in the OP, this is our 4th show of theirs to watch, and by far, the best.

Truth Be Told was probably the best up until this, and if you like the true crime podcasts, you should like this one.

Home Before Dark...this one could have been really really good, IMO, but I couldn't help but just keep saying "that would never happen" over and over and over. Watch a few episodes and you'll know exactly why I'm saying that. Because of that, I didn't enjoy it as much as my wife did.

Servant...I enjoyed it, but it was weird. Wife hated it.

I'm down for any other recommendations to start after we finish this. Figured I'll enjoy the hell out of it while we have it and maybe renew when the time comes if there are some shows that leave us hoping for a season 2.

I thought the show was just okay, but the acting, from top to bottom, was the best I've seen on TV since Lonesome Dove. The grandad and the boy were just perfect.
