I went through the whole thing in a day, loved it and can't wait for season 2.
I force myself to only watch one episode a week for anything that I really like. This show took off for me in E2, so I am slowing it down.
I try and do that, unfortunately I started it ona sat night and had a lazy sunday :)
Hehe sounds like a good weekend to me!
It was!
I liked it too! Hoping for a 2nd season.
Wait what, they made a TV show of these books? Crazy. If you want more, several of the audiobooks are narrated by Steven Pacey and are reaaaaally good.
I read the first couple and audibled the rest, can confirm they're solid.
That is good to know, because I am currently in a “book hole”. I have nothing to listen to during my commute.
Recently finished it, I really liked it but was hard for me to follow the plot, it feels like a spaghetti at first but it slowly unravels as the show progresses and it gets really better. Maybe it was because I don't have an very good English and the Scottish accent is a challenge for me even if I love it.
The only accent I am struggling with is the chief cop. I am only two episodes in and I am loving it though.
Loved this series, it really picks up after ep 1 and takes off. The question is, will Netflix renew it for a season 2? No word yet.
Yeah you always gotta hold your breath now.
It is a Netflix production, though? It isn’t made by the BBC etc?
I really liked the characters but was turned off by the horror-film stuff. Oh well.
I have only done the first two episodes. So I am not sure what the horror-flam stuff is.
Are you talking about:

I need to learn how to handle spoiler formats on Lenny.

Ahh! Thank you very much.
Yeah that and all the threatening dark-house-at-night texts and so on.
I'm halfway through it. I'm mostly liking it but it does suffer from almost everybody is an asshole. I get that that's intentional but it makes it hard to get invested.
Yeah I really struggle with getting into the main character because of that, but he did turn for me when he had the panic attack in the second episode.
I am curious how the show will balance him being an asshole with making him relatable.
