This is one of the original self-published success stories! And also one of the better self-published things, although I do love Senlin Ascends (also self-published fantasy/speculative).

I am gonna wait a few eps and then watch. My dad is also gonna sub to Apple+ when something he wants to see starts, so I'll probably just get his log in info.

This is on my list to watch for once I hit the mood for another dystopian show - love Rebecca Ferguson so that's a plus

I’m hooked, but it is giving me fallout without saying fallout (minus the 50s kitsch).

The music is veeeeery fallout. The post-apocalyptic retro futurism is fantastic.

The first couple episodes were intriguing and I’ll keep watching, but it’s really annoying that they don’t have an elevator? They’re always whining about how much they have to climb up and down.

In the books it's used to really amp up the social stratification - people generally don't leave their areas ever in their lives.

Yea the whole “we’re the bottom they’re the top” stuff has already played out, but I’m just not buying that someone built this futuristic thing and it only had stairs. Pffffft

[squirrels_oh_no]

LOL maybe they did it on purpose for said social stratification.

Got ep 1 downloaded hopefully gonna watch today or tomorrow
