SO... not much happened...

What do you guys think? This episode seemed to me that it could've been cut in half. The weakest episode so far, which annoys me after how the last one finished.

Anyway, my takes are Ralph starting to let himself believe what Holly is saying.

I like the show so far. Looking forward to the last 3 episodes (it's a 10 episodes miniseries right?)

Will see how it ends, I have no idea what is going to happen as I haven't read the book, which I will after the show finishes.

Anyone has read it and can tell me if the book is any good? And if it's worth reading after watching the show?

The story is that a bad motherfucker is controlling things.

I complained about EP7 being slow. This one was even worse. The show was moving right along at a "relaxed" pace. Good enough for me. But these last 2 episodes have been just wastefully dull. There's about 30 minutes of good story between the 2 of them.

But I'm in for the long haul. I wanna see it through. I just hope the pace picks up a bit.

it could have been a two hour movie

Perhaps a 5 episode series. So they can develop it properly. But good god, this last episode had like 10' story-worthy time.

Anyway, I hooked, I loved the premise, and I'm liking the show overall, just looking forward to seeing how it wraps up.

Agreed. A 10-part series could have been 6. Just lots of filler and wasted airtime. I started reading the book, which is excellent, but book-like pacing is fine...in a book!

I thought i was the only one...
I've been bored since episode 3.

The tone is super quiet and slow....lots of slow talking. And they gimmick the heck out of it by ending with great scenes that really never deliver the following episode.

I dont think I would ever rewatch this series. Great setting, some good characters. just missing something and that something is big
