Thematically the show is moving in strictly one direction: backward.

Dan Fogelman’s political thriller is off to an outstanding restart with so much on the horizon to explore and equally become emotionally distraught over.

The show creates a new mystery, a literal, mystery box. It's difficult to care about that mystery because Sterling K. Brown's character doesn't care. Brown's character of Xavier has been absent for large swaths of this season.

Writers out kicked the coverage on this one. Way too many areas of expertise would have been needed to pull of a project of this breadth. They just plain weren’t ready to mix walking dead with S.1 Lost & This Is Us. Either a cash grab or incompetence.

Couldn’t stop watching. Every episode left me with excitement of what’s to come.

The acting is brilliant and the writing is engaging. One of my favorite shows of 2026 so far.

I get the strangest feeling of The Truman Show, sometimes. Not quite as entertaining. Good acting, and the drama and heavy soundscape is a bit much. Sterling Brown is committed and always puts in a solid performance. I like Julianne Nicholson. She doesn't get enough attention for her work. I have always found her to be brave and believable. It was an escape and I am ok with that.

Initially I found it a bit tiring and frustrating because too many character turns (i.e. they are introduced as good guys but are not), which is more trickery than solid plot. The second half was better, but the story is moving even further into SF, I wonder where season 3 will land us. Sterling Brown is a great presence. But Julianne Nicholson is the highlight: She scares the shit out of me but also has this vulnerable side.

This is a fascinating show with many storylines. I found myself excited to watch every episode and I was thinking that season 2 couldn’t be as good as season 1, but it was.
