Having watched the first couple of episodes, I'm in for more so far.

Mild NSFW language in the trailer:

I have watched the first two episodes, and it was entertaining, I will follow it.

We tried it and liked it. It is kind of unexpectedly well written. Does anyone know what day of the week they will be adding new episodes?

I'll check it out, I need a new show to watch

Of the 5 million shows that I haven't watched on all of the channels, they are all crap. It's amazing to me

I'm pending ep3. I like it quite a bit so far and I'm curious to see where it goes.

It's based on a William Gibson book, so the source material is solid.

I’m watching and enjoying it.

So far, I’ve only got one quibble (*minor spoiler here*): At the beginning, the show portrays Flynne’s brother, Burton, as kind of a bum. He’s living in a trailer behind the house, sitting around all day drinking and playing video games. Suddenly, he’s transformed into a badass leader of a squad of retired operators. Eek

You have a point. I thought of that briefly as they seemed to portray him in an increasingly intelligent light.
Then I just kinda let it go.

It's always good to be reminded you never know who people are from one visit to their living rooms. Never assume anything.

It’s from a William Gibson (cyberpunk writer) novel.

Should be quite interesting. Will watch.

Loved the Neuromancer novels and Johnny MNeumonic movie with young K. Reeves was ok in its day. Can’t remember New Rose Hotel at all.

Having a hard time getting into it after two episodes. Not that it's bad, I just don't care for the story line.

I will say that Chloe Moretz is a much better actress than I gave her credit for.

Apart from the quibble I mentioned before, I am enjoying it. Intriguing story, good, solid characters, no ridiculous plot twists (so far).

I’m not a big tv watcher and it’s been a while since I was interested enough in a show to look forward to the next episode dropping.

I finished this season off tonight, it was good sci-fi, well done with good action. Hope we get another season.

I watched the first episode, my reaction was along the lines of "Huh? What?" Maybe I'll give it another shot. Maybe.
