I loved it too and stil watch the re-runv on Roku. I think what killed it was the thread about the wife, who when she got pregnant had miscarriages because the fetus time traveled out of her womb. She lost at least five fetuses. Think about that; where they went and how they died. Cripes, that is a bit much.

Also it bothered me that he had no "stop" on his traveling. I think he should have had a cause for the travel that he could try to avoid. Something very common and hard to avoid but he could possibly, for a while, in the right environment.

The writing and acting were excellent, as was the direction. I liked the comedy. The meeting in the library was very good. The introduction of a second, third a fourth traveler at different ages means that even when he died at 43 the younger ones should still be traveling. Yet we didn't see that. Maybe in a new season, if it ever happens.

It gets better and better does'nt it? Episode three was incredible. So much like a full length movie it should be nominated for an Oscar. I guess I am not really a reviewer but an enjoyer of good stuff and this has my attention. The whole concept of fungi not being able to live in the human body because of the temperature is based on fact and the fact is with temps rising on Earth the day may come when we have tp protect ourselves from invasive fungicide. I don't think we will have to worry about zombies, but you never know, do you? Looking for to episode 4 and beyond into the world of the fungi feed. After a billion years of fungi history how does it feel for them to have this new source brain power for hosting and taking over. Are we going to find out how they feel about the human condition, and can we talk them into backing off?

Three and half times watched, and I find more to like in each viewing. The true test of good acting is when you don't think of someone as acting but as the character they play in the film. This happens to me once in a while. "Oh wait....he is acting, he is an actor." In the scene where Dominic gets rejected by Siobhan. The performance by Barry Keoghan is so good, so heartbreaking, He shows so many emotions with his facial expressions, his movements, those sad, searching eyes, the words, the look back as he walks away is crushing. For that scene alone you should never miss this movie. Also, Colin is spot on with his "dim" and "dull" character, since Colin is Irish, he has probably known people just like his character.

It took me a while to figure who the why of this story. Why would Colm do such a thing, and what was his point? It was for selfish reasons. He wanted to be famous for something after he dies so once he finished his song, he wanted to make sure it became famous by making it his one and only composition and then attaching an unforgettable fact that he cut his fretting fingers off on finishing it.

I recognized beautiful Keem Beach on Achill Island in West County Mayo, Ireland as the location of Colm's thatched home. I spent a beautiful sunny afternoon there about 10 years ago. Not many tourists make it out there, but it's worth the trip.
