Anyone outside the USA yet tried if the first episodes for free thing works for us as well?

[almostlawyer]

It does! Just tried but it's only the first one, 2 and 3 require a subscription

[therearewords]

Hm, guess it's something.

Only just started but between this and After Yang, Kogonada is the god of main title sequences. Just because we're exploring existential dread and inter-generational family crises doesn't mean we can't have a little FUN.

Right off the bat Solomon had terrible vibes in the show and from the comments in this post apparently that's an accurate read on the actor. Yikes.

The After Yang opening credits were prob my favorite part of the movie! So fun.

I was like "oh I should avoid this post for spoilers" then I remembered I have actually read the book (twice! 🤦‍♀️)

I'll finally get an Apple+ trial to watch this when it's finished airing. Gross re: that creepo actor 👎

[slaygalthessily]

I’m planning to do the same. And fortunately, I’ve also read (err… listened) to the book too so I can spoiled all I want.

This show is stunning! I really enjoyed the first three episodes. It’s a real shame about the gross actions of the lead male actor. I see he’s deleted his entire social media presence. What a grey cloud this now puts over such ambitious and good work. It’s clearly a huge production, with so much talent across the board involved. I think I’ll continue to watch it given the scope of all others involved…but yeah…tsk.
