I have no idea if the show itself will be any good, but a second trailer just hit and it looks fantastic so far...

1. Fun fact. Justin's uncle, Paul Theroux, is the author of the original novel.

2. TIL I learned that pay phones are still a thing.

3. If I were ever to go gay, it would be for Justin.

Has anybody seen the movie with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren?

This looks very interesting but also very different from the summary of that movie and the book itself.

Also, does anyone else think the daughter looks like a young Selma Blair.

Why did you leave River out on the sidewalk when you described the movie?

Three episodes in (the first two debuted last week and the third this week) and this is pretty good so far. Kind of Ozark-light, though not as good, with more of a survivalist twist. That said, I don't have any real complaints - there's nothing glaringly wrong with it - it's just not of the caliber of an Ozark and definitely not a Breaking Bad, but of that family in terms of tone, and maybe the most beautifully shot of the bunch. Totally worth the watch if you're looking for something, and only a seven-episode season one commitment, so we're nearly halfway through already.

Anyone else given it a shot so far?

Haven't yet-was watching reviews to see if it was decent. Probably will give it a shot since Justin is in my favorite show of all time.

Acting was never great, but 1 episode into S2 and the acting has just fallen off the cliff. It's like they don't care anymore. Good premise, poor execution.
