The last episode invigorated the series.

Jason is clearly Tandy's brother - calling Tucson next?

Tandy and Carol set off to start a rival nation?

Odd still that no one has really talked about what happened to humanity, and that no one seems especially sad about losing everyone they knew.

Did I read the show is actually shot in New Mexico, not Tucson?

Late to the party but just binge watched this over the last two nights. 12 episodes of 21 minutes each was very doable.

Some incredible laugh out loud moments, especially during the early and middle episodes. Have to take the good with the bad in a show like this, but overall I loved it.

Yeah January Jones is not a great thespian. But very well cast here and I liked her.

Since this thread has been revived I gotta say, I am loving season 2 so far. Much less up and down than the first.

I love that they call him Tandy. I love that Phil likes Carole and she is trying to get him to back off. I think it's great stuff. I like Will Forte.

Kristen Schaal is brilliant.

Cricket casserole.

Had a few episodes on the DVR and watched them in a row. Yeah, I'm done. This show just isn't that good anymore. It started off quite well and has gone into unwatchable. DRV series recording cancelled.

So six episodes into season 3. Anybody still watching?

I must say I tuned in here and there for the first two seasons. And right now I find its the only show on tv that has me appointment viewing.

The latest episode finally addressed this head on (the mourning part) in a really touching manner. Great episode.

I think the future of the series is uncovering the first part, maintaining the absurdist actions and levity it brings to a painful environment.

It's lost a lot of the appeal with all the characters. The cameo kills are great but the story itself isn't growing like it should. I look at it from a writers perspective and it's hard to keep it funny in it's current dynamic. They need to change the cast to keep it fresh.

I still watch the show, in large past because it's just 23 minutes and is good for a few chuckles still. Not the gut buster it was in season 1.

I watch a couple of episodes a couple of times a week. It's not the greatest show but I like it's quirkiness and get a few chuckles watching it.

Every show doesn't have to be Emmy worthy to be good. I like watching Portlandia every once in a while too.

I'm still watching - there are so many story possibilities if they keep exploring the world.

We're not family. We're all just a bunch of people who happened to meet at the end of the world.

It took me a while to figure out Tandy wasn't a dangerous lunatic but in fact, the man of my dreams.

I feel like I am one of like 6 or 7 people watching this show, but what a cliffhanger for the season finale (not overly surprising, but I need to know what happens next!). Hopefully it gets picked up for another season.

I’m still watching. Good for some laughs every week, some weeks more than others. The characters have found a nice rhythm.

No guarantee it gets picked up apparently based on instagram post from Kristen Schaal saying she hopes they do.

The arc with Fred Armisen as the cannibal was quite good.
