    I know I'm not the only one here watching this show.

    Ridley Scott and Tom Hardy have somehow taken subject matter that I would normally run from like my hair was on fire, and have turned it into a dark, edgy, fascinating show that I can't take my eyes from.

    This show is awesome so far and we're only 2 episodes in.

    It's certainly intriguing and really well made. Dark, edgy and fascinating is about right.

    Okay, have the first two episodes saved so I'm definitely looking forward now to watching them.

    I recently watched the movie The Drop so that got me interested in Hardy and the show.

    So I finally got around to watching this over the last week. I really liked it and thought it was very entertaining. I liked the historic setting and the mystical stuff too.
    But most of all it was carried by Tom Hardy, who's become a favorite of mine.

    I liked Oona Chaplin too.:p
    Hopefully she comes back from the dead of wherever she went, next season. :)

    Good show matey

    Hopefully they get a Season 2, but I'm not counting on it. Season 1 didn't get a lot of support for production and Tom Hardy ended up putting $3 million out of his pocket into the budget.

    Edit: Actually, it looks like it was renewed: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...ders-steven-knight-ridley-scott-a7618891.html

    I really liked the whole show but the final episode was kind of bereft of substance, it was basically a big gunfight after the Zilpha business.
