There are three seasons of this show now, and it's available on demand. Is it worth the binge watch?

People seem to like it. I couldn't finish the first episode, though. If it's on demand, there's no harm in giving it a try.

I enjoy it, but as with most of these AMC series, the show seems to have lost its way in Season 2. They brought it back, a bit, in Season 3. I'll continue watching it, because it is a fun show.

I liked it. I haven’t seen the third season. Good action scenes. It’s not Shakespeare, but I was entertained

I liked it. It gets better after the first episode. Season 1 was better than season 2 but I’m a person that has to finish something. I haven’t seen the third season. The first to are on Netflix.

I watched through season 1 but it didn't hold my interest. I'm into dystopian post-apocalyptic stuff combined with martial arts and some sword and sorcery thrown in.

But too many story lines, the groups are too much caricatures, plus I don't like the overarching storyline of the boy.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I think it's pretty cool.

Watched Season 1 and then got too busy for TV.

It's like society hit some sort of apocalyptic event that destroyed it, then we slowly rebuilt back to around the 1940's then stopped, and added swords and Kung-fu.

It basically boils down to a WB series, but with a lot of violence. I put it on in the background when I’m working on a project. For that, it works very well.

The acting is terrible, but all the actors can do great physical choreography so that makes it fun.

I like it but it can be confusing with all the different story lines. I also agree that season one was the best so far of the three.


It's kids like you, who make this bus late.

It kind of reminds me of the storyline in some ways of the novel Dies The Fire.

Does anyone know if that is ever going to get made into a movie? I think if done right, it could be a kick-ass film!
