    I’m so excited to see where this show goes. I can’t fathom what could possibly be in store after a premiere like that.

    Incredible first episode. This is the sort of post-COVID media I think we all anticipated seeing someday.

    Despite the absolute terror as everything unfolded, I couldn’t help but laugh at the exchange with the secretary of agriculture through the TV.

    This was an excellent start to a show.

    I loved the timer. Knowing only the trailer going into it I thought the series was going to dump us into an existing world and the season would end with the timer at zero.

    Obviously as the episode went on, it became clear we were going to reach 0 in this episode.

    I hope the series jumps around and references the timer because I’d love to see more before and after. We got a huge time jump between “Paul” (guy who discovered it) figuring it out and scientists starting to make it.

      The Fediverse is what is put into it.

      This is a brand new community for a brand new show.

      Nobody posts because nobody posts and nobody comments because nobody comments is nihilistic and unhelpful.

      You have to be the change you want to see.

      If you are refering to almost non existent engagement with this post, I think it will get better with time, after the show will gain more viewers and and there will be more posts. It would great to have the same level of engagement as there was on !severance@lemmy.world during season 2 airing.

        To add, this is a new show without a following (yet). Severance had all of season 1’s following.

        Plus someone has to post first, that’s how you get the ball rolling.
