    This thread is probably just for me and @GoT You watch this season?


    To anyone not GoT reading, this show is a slow start that is a pretty interesting take on monster apocalypse, like zombie and vampires. The first two seasons were above okay for me, although some scenes and episodes could be a slight chore to get through.

    The third season though, WOW! I loved the third season and highly recommend it as viewing (although it loses too much impact if you skip the first and second season). Nice to see a show have some payoff for all the buildup (and I mean more as in character buildup, not plot payoff... although the plot advances very nicely in season 3).


    So I think we finally find a kid we can hate worse than Carl (from Walking Dead). I mean that stupid dumb kid and his stupid dumb move at the end of the season. Zero way to redeem that kid now, right?

    ^ David Bradley is excellent in the series. He might be best known (for film and tv) as Walder Frey from Game of Thrones.

    ^ Jonathan Hyde (Titanic, Jumanji) also fantastic in the series.


    If anyone looking for an apocalypse/monster type show to watch, and can make it through the first two seasons... the third season (imo of course) really makes it all worth it. Great 3rd season!

    I dont like the long tentacle thing that shoots out of their mouths. The series lost me with that.

    I enjoy the show

    the early episodes explain the throat sucker thingy

    for a series that has a nuclear explosion in NYC I just have to say I was still disappointed. Is this thing a graphic novel? Do they just not know where they are going with it. I appreciate that it is only day 41 of the crisis and they are taking their time, but getting 'the Master' encased in silver/lead and going bon voyage only to be saved by nuke's was a WTF! moment for me. Looks like NYC fell at last and 'the Master''s nuked arse is vamping about still...

    oh well I made it this far I am sure I will watch season 4 if only cause I am to lazy to reprogram my DVR

    Its a viral outbreak of Vamparism dating back from the ancient times.

    Been watching, but it's been up and down with this series.
