Liked the first episode, but its gotten kinda campy/cheesy with all the thank the founders and pact stuff. Not sure if its the writing or the actors that are bothering me most. I am having a hard time staying engaged. Its been a good sleep inducer before bed though, lol.
I thought the show sucked. Common sucked. Bob Roberts sucked.
There's no way a society would survive like that without questioning why they couldn't go outside, have "relics", or have kids when they want. I get that the "Justice League" was authoritarian and #### but c'mon.
I think we're learning as the show goes on that this isn't the first time these questions and issues have been raised. It's just the first time we're aware of it, jumping midway into the story.

I don't mind a slow burn show.
I can certainly understand some criticism. For me, the characters were all pretty weak with maybe the exception of Tim Robbins.
They weren't 'terrible' but they didnt have a lot to work with. Okay fine, I can accept that. I had no issues with Common, I felt he played, his admittedly restricted, role well.
I loved the look of the Silo, I thought that was brilliant, albeit dark and boring but thats also part of the deal, I can accept that too.
Silo didnt blow me away, but it did enough that I'm invested and I want to see where this goes, they've got me for at least another season so long as they dont jump any sharks.
I'm on the fence about the people of the Silo and the Relics, I feel that people are naturally curious and I didnt feel that being able to clamp down on that many people with an Iron Fist was particularly realistic, but I'm okay with that, I have no allegiance to the source material, I'm here for the ride so lets see where it goes.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Yet another show for which I need to watch one of those corny YouTube recap videos of season 1. I don't remember much of anything but for very broad strokes.
I was hoping to learn more about what happened to Rashida in season 1.
Lingering questions:
Spoiler!
Why can’t they have a bloody elevator?
Why did Common’s wife let Jules go?
Would any of them know how to swim?
Young Jules has dark eyes. Adult Jules blue/grey eyes.
Rebecca was on Seth Meyers last week. It was an odd, heavily edited segment. Some asked if she was on something or ADHD?
