I ended up marathon-ing the last few episodesI had left in queue.

Which is why I haven't posted in here. Lol.

Anyone else finish the series? I don' want to spoil anything for those that haven't yet.

But I really dug this whole show. The characters felt like real and honest people to me. And I would love for this to get picked up again.

I like the show, but by the time you get into whats going on, there's only a couple of episodes left.  I'll get around to watching them one day.  I'm trying to make it last.  I can't wait until the next season.

I ended up binge watching this show and absolutely loved it. It had that Wachowski look and feel to it, which I like. Glad to hear there might be upcoming seasons!

I just watched the second episode and the hospital scene with Nomi and her mom was extremely overwhelming to me.  I guess that was my first "Triggering" experience. :-(  I felt like a cornered animal. I couldn't get away and I was impotent to stop it.

So I guess yesterday at Comic Con executive producer J. Michael Straczynski said we'll know within 2 weeks if NetFlix will renew the series.

It has been a really popular show so far. Netflix knows this since they have all the data on who watches what and how many people watch it.

it actually did much better then people expected it too.

also the writer  J. Michael Straczynski said that he already has a five season plan. So cross ur fingers.

5 Seasons????

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor. Lol.

But I think that would make a lot of sense (pun intended) because as great as this first season is I don't think we have a good idea of what's going on with the bad guys and their plans.

Loved the series! Finished it on Sunday and can't wait for next. Thought I had an understanding of how the characters were developing, but then again.......

i have and plan on suggesting this to several people, though with trans folk and others who i feel may have the same reaction I did I have warned them about the triggerific nature of the second episode. It was done well but still horrifying.
What is a Lie when it's at home? Anyone?
Is it the depressed little voice inside? Whispering in my ear? Telling me to give up?
Well I'm not giving up. Not for that part of me that hates myself. That part wants me to wither and die. not for you. Never for you.  --Loki: Agent of Asgard

Yes, I would really like to hear Lana Wachowski's view on that episode.  In many ways it's a horror story written especially for us.   It definitely draws from transgender treatment history.  I doubt most cis-people would get that.

I started watching last  night and was immediately hooked and intrigued. I saw the first two episodes before I had to switch over for The Strain but tonight will be binge watching central.
