THE CLUBHOUSE

Started watching it last night. Don't think I've ever seen the
Dark Horse comic, but so far 3 eps in, enjoying it!

Has a Watchmen feel to it... w/ a Haunting of Hill house type
of windy, look-back, story line that gives you some background
but not enuff where you want more!!

Check it out!

Ya beat me to it

We'd also never read the comics but were drawn in by the trailers which looked really good - just the right level of irreverence to appeal to me and mine.

Got through the whole lot - really enjoyed it. Sort of a "whodunnit" (or "whowilldoit" or "howwillithappen") on steroids.

Great characters, slowly introduced and broadened out, with great writing, direction, acting, pacing etc. etc. etc.

Some really clever ideas like the intro "titles", and . . . heck - can't really say what I want to without getting into spoiler territory . . . just watch it - it's great

EVERY actor/actress was amazing, but the top awards go to the fellas playing #4 and #5 - amazing work. I was even more impressed when I found out the lad playing #5 was only 15 years old!

I'd really recommend going in cold so you have the fun of all the twists/turns/surprises.

About the ONLY fault was the dance scene in E06 (where I was tempted to say "Dracarys!" ) - and I was a bit confused why there were no cellphones - but aside from that - it was bloody perfect!

Really digging it three episodes in too.

I actually fast fwd'd through that!

and I was a bit confused why there were no cellphones

Yeah... w/ all the wall hanging phones and actual phone booths, I got an 80's
feel about it. Cars looked European to me as well.

Finished it last night. Thought I had it figured out in ep7, but ...nope!
Enjoyed it very much!

Wonder if there will be a season 2... (seeing how I just read Punisher & JJ news
finally came out)

I'm 2 eps in and enjoying it. I swear this is about the 3rd thing I've seen with Robert Sheenan in womens clothes....

Will have to watch this when I'm done re-binging Fringe.

My daughters been trying to get me to read this for a few years now. She love's Gerard Way's stuff(Music and literature).
Debating if I should watch or read it first?

Can't say on which to go for first (since I've not read the comics) - but I'd think you'd enjoy the heck out of the show.

finished the series last night based on your recommendation and thourghly enjoyed it. Thanks for the heads up on this show.

I wanted to read it when it started, but I'm collecting toooooo much already.
I'll have to check it out.

A few episodes in. Always love Robert Sheehan. So far I'm hooked.
If you ever get the chance check out Cameron Britton (Hazel in UA) in Mindhunter, he was crazy (no pun intended) awesome in that.

Loved it! Some hokey stuff (the beforementioned dance scene) but otherwise a very good show. Glad I watched it.
Really enjoyed Aidan Gallagher (Number 5), thought he did a pretty good job for someone his age.

The title makes me think of Resident Evil

Ok, I finished the series. Anybody got any spoilers they may be harboring? Like that weird cut scene at the beginning of the last episode, what was tha all about?

That was showing the Dad's origins - he was an alien, and a lot older than we thought.

I can't stop yelling schnell now.

That’s it, Dads an alien?!

I was expecting something much cooler than that. Like maybe dad was actually #5.
