Didn't see a thread on it. Just got done watching. Overall I enjoyed it. Not going to change your life but I recommend it.



I thought it started a lot stronger than it finished.

It was pretty clear we were going to be in some sort of time loop situation from early on. And those are inherently confusing. But I thought the "fix" they were pursuing was confusing. In the first five or six episodes when the mystery was unraveling was a lot more fun.

I've watched the first 2 episodes and really enjoy it so far.

My wife was watching it. Didn't seem like the kind of thing I'd be into but it sucked me in.

Watched it over the weekend. Thought it was ok. It reminded me of 'Dark', but it's much less complex and not nearly as good.

Is it similar to HardBodies?

If you're talking about the crappy gym in my little hometown, no.

If you're talking about some gay porno, very slightly closer but also probably no.

Agreed it started a whole lot stronger than I assume it finishes, as I have one episode left but it has been falling off over last couple of episodes. The detective having a gay love affair was so shoehorned in it was eyeroll inducing. I cant watch this show without thinking of Tommy from Snatch though. I always love time travel feedback loop type shows, but so far this is 7/10 or so.

7/10 feels about right. I enjoyed it. No need to watch it again.

Hardbodies was a classic mid-80s movie that those of us who were too young to go see when it was in the movie theater would then spend the next decade checking out the movie jacket/poster at a Blockbuster or video rental store.



I can't even make it through the trailer because it was so bad, however a sequel was made.

Probably on the Mount Rushmore of 80's teen skin flicks, along with Hot Dog and Porky's.

Scotty Palmer and Rag (a/k/a Malachi (as in "He wants you too, Malachi)) were notoriously snubbed for Oscars.

Watched several episodes so far.

It a DARK remake set in London.
it's ok but again basically just a re-hash of a previous NETFLIX show.

If we've seen Bodies would you recommend Dark as well?

Even you haven't seen Dark, do yourself a favor and watch it.

It is phenomenal.

Yeah..... I think DARK had more depth.
