TMS is not a thriller or murder mystery. She took too many drugs and died. It may have not been intentional though.

Finale was amazing. A fabulous show. Period.
I already do, after having been (very positively) surprised by "Dickinson". "For All Mankind" was also great. As a human spaceflight geek, I really appreciated the gorgeous imagery of Saturn V ?
Just got free year trial and started watching this. Gotta say I’m impressed with the quality of this show. I have avoided reading any posts in this thread so I don’t spoil the ending.
I’ve just started watching this and am waiting to start episode 4. For some reason I only seem to get around to watching in the morning. Bit of a weird tradition. ?
I can’t wait to keep watching though. Really good story and Steve Carrell is just brilliant. So is Jennifer Anniston but I have a hard time liking her character.
Great casting. This show may make me stay on as a subscriber after my free year.

Jennifer Anniston is likable, Alex is not. Our brain has a hard time accepting that
Just watched episode 1. Impressed. Far more impressed than I thought I would be for a show with Jennifer Aniston in it. Good cast, good start.
You're in for a treat! This is a wonderful show.
Early reviews weren't that great when the series first premiered... but reviewers only saw the first 3 episodes.
If you liked the first episode... you'll love it even more as the season progresses.
I watched the first episode in November and ditched it for the exact same reason as you. I gave it another go this weekend and blitzed through it. Trust me when I say this - it gets infinitely better from episode 2 onwards. The writing style changes dramatically, the social media buzzwords are thrown out in favour of some genuinely intriguing arguments and it takes several clever turns in its run to the finale. Definitely give it another go.
It has been mentioned by several posters now that you can't (or, at least, shouldn't) judge this show by the first episode, presumably not even the first two or three.
I had been putting off giving this show a go, but I started it two days ago (I just wanted to watch a 4K stream on my new iMac to gloat at the picture quality) and finished it just now. Can’t say it’s perfect and some subplots weren’t all that interesting to me, but it was a great show, really looking forward to the next season. Alex is hard to sympathize with at times (which I don’t think is a bad thing, not all character have to be, it’s actually refreshing to be invested in a lead that isn’t necessarily sympathetic, Cersei-style), but Jennifer Anniston still plays her in a way that makes her character realistically complex and her motivations coherent. The path they evolve Mitch on is a compelling one, and it could lead to something interesting in the future. Bradley, I feel, hasn’t been developed enough quite yet, though her relationship with her father became significant, I don’t think they’ve explored enough of her character. Might be a conscious decision as a lot of seeds have been planted for her, perhaps to be reaped next season, but I think she was more so a plot device to further the story, so far.
Looking forward to the follow up season. This and a few more things I’ve watched on Apple TV+ definitely justify to me the price of a subscription once my free trial is over.

I resisted watching the show at first just because I don’t care for “famous” A-list actors that kept being marketing focus and I didn’t really grasp what the show would be about besides a tv show.
But holy crap, am I glad I started this. I very rarely binge shows but I just could not stop watching this one. I just finished and I am blown away. This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. This should’ve blown up and got people talking like how Netflix shows do on social media, but unfortunately there’s not enough people using TV+ for it to blow up.
This show deserves so much. Could you imagine if this was on Netflix? It would be at least is big as House of Cards in popularity. It would be the talk of the web for at least a couple weeks. I’m just blown away - both by how good the show is and the fact that I haven’t heard more people talking about it.

Depends if they started filming again...although I am not sure how..given we are still in a pandemic.

Binged this over the weekend with my wife. Thought the quality/direction/tone of the show dropped with the wildfires episode where I thought it went more generic soap opera, but on the whole, I really enjoyed it and look forward to season 2.
As a former newspaper columnist, the rampant cursing was one of the most believable parts of the show.
I wil take your word for that. It just goes to show how small a vocabulary a lot of people in print have, which I find rather ironic. I am probably one of the exceptions but, after a very short while, the cursing gets annoying to me and I end up losing interest in what I am watching.
Agreed. I don't love rampant cursing in shows (that was one of my big complaints when Netflix produced season 3 of Designated Survivor - all the characters suddenly started swearing like mad). But using the F-word as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and every other part of speech in a newsroom is - or at least was, when I was in the biz - pretty standard fare.
