Anybody watching this. I not a huge horror fan, but so far it's not bad. Kinda surprised myself.

Only downside is FX needs to run more Archer reruns.

Why do you think it's crap.

I've been watching from the start.
Last weeks melt down by the female "I don't kill people" after she got attacked by an undead corpse with a 6 foot tongue and doing an autopsy on a corpse with withered organs and brand newly developed ones was nearly a jump the shark moment.

And Sam Gamgee fesses up to working for the bad guys but our heroes walk away without asking who the SOBs are. WTF!

I'm watching this because I can no longer stand to watch Falling Skies. It's getting to be a little 1980's V for me, so I decided to try this. Not much else on basic I find interesting right now.

I'll admit that I've been watching it. Cheesy but entertaining. I'll also admit that the first time I saw the zombie thing with the snake thing snapping out of its mouth at me I would have been gone. One way flight to madagascar gone. Scratch that, one way flight to the international space station gone. None of this "we have to stop this BS the main character spouts off.

I'm following this show. Hoping that the Health Inspector flies solo from Eph and Pawn Shop Guy and slays the ghouls in the sewers. It's barely Cheesy, something expected from a low budget cable tv series. It's no Walking Dead, but man, the vampire/zombie with the stretching french tongue is scary as shit.

I'm enjoying this show a lot. I dig the little bit Romanian vampire lore they threw in. Reminds me of a computer gamed called The Secret World (vampires are called strigoi in the game). I also like Kevin Durand's character, Vasiliy Fet, and look forward to seeing what he does. I think he's going to be a badass in the upcoming episodes.

I'm tempted to pick up the books and graphic novel(s) but want see how this season goes.

I'm tempted to grab the source material too. But I think I have way too many books on my personal queue list to push these titles to the front. Can't wait for Sunday's episode.

Been watching it with the wife. It has some interesting moments but it's moving rather slow and get kind of hard to keep watching. The only characters that seem interesting are the old man and the pest exterminator. I couldn't care less if all the other characters got eaten or turned. It needs to pick up the pace or it will be loosing viewers.

This past episode picked up the pace well enough. It had the old man and the exterminator the whole episode and one of the main characters dies.
