Anyone watching? Sally Field is in it.
Kind of interesting, but the first episode moved pretty slowly, and so far I haven't found the characters especially likeable or compelling.

I'm watching the first episode now. Very much a mind fucker.

Just finished the second episode. The series is one of the most bizarre I've ever seen -- I'm not sure what's going on, and don't find myself caring about any of the characters or the search for "Clara," yet I'll probably still watch episode 3.
Has anyone read the book on which it's based? "The Institute"?
I fear it's meandering to an unsatisfying conclusion, but maybe the book provides a solid road map for the showrunners to follow?

Is this going to end up being another John From Cincinnati? I only caught the first few minutes because it was on my DVR after Better Call Saul

I just found it the other night. Saw the last half of an episode. No idea what was going on but I know I want to start from the beginning. Looks very interesting. Hope it's not one of those series that starts out great for 6 episodes and then falls apart. (I'm looking at you Lost and Stranger Things)

The lead actor showed the world his gray penis in the movie "Finding Sarah Marshall" which cannot be unseen nor forgotten.

I've seen 2 eps. Sally Field is doing the kind of shtick she does so well such as in the zany My Name is Doris. I like that, I really really like that, though it's low hanging fruit. I like the trans and that's unusual for me. It has somewhat witty production design. It seems pretty light-hearted so far. Mediocre magic realism mixed with Emilie and Steam-punk.

I've seen a few episodes, and Sally is fab as usual. She needs another weekly programme ASAP.

A truly prophetic post. I watched from first episode to last and wish I had my hours back.
Program started off as an interesting mystery and in quick order became Jason Sagal's tranny dating show and ultimately an Oprah "be the change lecture".

A shame - seems like it could be Intersting. But Jason Segel is unappealing to me.

Thank you for taking one for the team. Or, well, for me. After my earlier posts, I gave up three episodes in and wondered if I should have seen it through.
Now I know there isn't much need for me to catch up on what I missed on demand.
