Often, I start to watch a show due to the buzz and don't like it. I force myself to at least get through episode 2 of whatever show (I gave up on Breaking Bad and went back because of the press it was getting and boy am I glad I did!).
With this show I didn't like it (of course) but went back (due to Pedro Pascal--so dreamy) and glad I did. I HATE zombies and the end of the world-type stuff is just too much for me but this is a good show and I was able to binge due to not watching it weekly (I am now caught up). I hope it continues to be good, they sure have a bunch of good actors.
And episode 3 has stayed with me, it was so good--happy and sad--and well done.
