I started watching this series with no expectations. However, as good as the first season is, and it is great, the second series is even better.

The ensemble cast make every episode ring with authenticity, every scene unfolds drama at pace.

Interlinking plot lines give depth of character expansion for each actor, the screenplay is exceptionally well written and executed.

I have found myself sitting on the edge of my seat during episodes, the tension is palpable.

Not since "Homeland" has there been a series of this genre so well done and I applaud Taylor Sheridan for the writing and the cast for their exceptional commitment to fleshing out their characters so you really care about each and every one.

I highly recommend viewing this series.

I just finished watching this series, and was left so disappointed by the ridiculous screenplay, dialed -in performances by key characters, complete lack.of continuity in editing, grating soundtrack and unbelievable plot twists that had no credibility whatsoever. I hadn't read the book this series is "loosely" based on but I would hope it is seriously better than this drivel. The acting performances varied from "just doing it for the cheque" to over the top "over acting". Plot scenarios that previous reviewers have mentioned are laughable or tragic. I usually love crime dramas but this one completely left me feeling irritated and disappointed.

This is how you make an apocalyptic series. Realistic, scary as hell, outstanding performances from all the cast but especially Pascal, Ramsey and Torv. This has to be the best series that has been shown for years possibly decades. You will have nightmares but only because it seems so damn real.

The sets, the script, the acting, the production all first class. I would never have guessed this was adapted from a video game.. Absolutely one of the most important series to have been made especially after the world is feeling from a global pandemic. Everyone who watches this will be reminded how fragile our existence really is.
