Absolutely. And I’d go so far as to say that anyone who doesn’t like it is watching the wrong show. They’ve clearly telegraphed from episode 2 onwards that this’ll be a slow moving tale, mostly about Carol. It reminds me in a lot of ways of The Leftovers. If you want answers that was the wrong show to watch, you only watch for the crazy shit and how people respond to that. Plur1bus is a lot tamer in that regard (and gives far more actual answers), but it’s a broadly similar experience.
