[BarryAllen]

I really want to watch this the moment it drops, but I have class on Fri and already pulled an all-nighter the day before, so I guess I have to settle for Friday evening.

 

[Golgo-13]

Binge watching the entire season Saturday!

[BatsDC]

Have fun watching it live, so to speak. Shall catch up on the fun tomorrow

 

[AgentGojiraRgr]

"one of them"

Maybe the guy in the car thinks she's an Inhuman

It goes in line with what happened earlier this season on Agents of Shield.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Well that was certainly something

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

Solid 8.9/10 on to the next one

[Snow Queen]

Oh...why do I have to have plans during the day that mean I can only do one tonight?

 

[sabetoonth]

Oh god, I know right? I thought

Spoiler

she was going to shoot herself too. Turned out to be much much worse.

Anyone else see in that shot just before cutting to Hope and her saying 'smile', it looked like she had no eyes/hollow sockets?

Also, maybe reading too much into it. But Killgrave took Hope away, hope too. Intentional on the writers' parts?

 

[Pokkle]

It was awesome.
The ending.

 

[ShaZam612]

love the fact that the first time you see Luke he's in a gold t-shirt!

 

[flickchick85]

This is such a great show!!!

 

[Avid Avenger]

Still no Avengers tower.....damn that really just gets under my skin with these netflix shows.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Okay this was just very, very GOOOOOOOD.

The term that needs to be thrown around is simply QUALITY. Quality writing, quality cast, quality production values. Ritter and the rest of the cast all made an impact and intrigued with just one episode. I guess that's the way a "mystery" show can have an advantage. You can dole out info bit by bit. Still... Things have to be compelling in the first place though and this worked.

Now... I will say I did think that this had a bit... A BIT... Of "trying too hard". From language to the mattress rodeo moments, it seemed to be hitting us over the head with it's "grit" at times. But... Again it was 95% of the time doing an incredible job with it's various elements.

Ritter was the glue, and she held this together for sure. Jones is interesting, no nonsense and obviously damaged to a great degree and living her life day to day is a psychic struggle for her. I am looking forward to seeing how the evolution of her across the episodes goes.

Now I read the book for a bit in spurts but have never read the entire run so I am not sure exactly how much I will or will not be surprised in the next few episodes but I am looking forward to finding out.

Spoiler

It was confirmed he has wasn't it, if not then yes i think he has. I think his own series will have flashbacks.

Also great episode, right on par with DD. Already looking forward to Matt and Jessica meeting, they are very much opposite in a lot of ways.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

That ending... Damn.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

That ending... Damn.

I have a feeling this will be similar to LOST or 24 with those left field turns at the end of each episode.

 

[starscream]

Welp gonna have to binge it all in a day haha.

 

[Moridin]

Excellent opening episode. Love the vibe. Great cast.

Better than Daredevil's ep1, from what I recall (haven't seen it since it came out).

 

[WeatherWizard99]

cant wait to see it...

 

[SC92]

Great opening episode. It did a great job of setting the tone. Ritter is fantastic in this. I genuinely gasped out loud at the ending.
