I've only watched Ep1 but have the rest waiting for me. Really looking forward to it all.

Building to a great climax, and the callbacks to the source material continue without impinging or detracting from the story. Love Jeremy Irons’ demented cackling in the post credits scene; until this episode he’d been somewhat ‘phoning it in.

Yes. That is one of the best episodes of anything I've ever watched. Sheer brilliance

Yep, setting up for a great finale. I guess Dr. M. set up all the dominoes and next week we'll see them all fall into place, Veidt being one of the key dominoes.

More mentions of elephants in the room, I wonder if they'll milk a second series or if they'll just keep it as a standalone thing.

Remember that there's another DM on Mars.

I was wondering why the imdb ratings were so low, it's crept up from 6.7 to 7.5 but it turns out there has been a campaign by far right racists to bomb it with 1 star reviews, if you look at the episode ratings it would be over 9.

really? Can't leave that as standalone - didn't even attempt to wrap up the storylines.

Only if you experience time linearly.

They think they can make a difference by making people think a TV show is rubbish? And we're not allowed to say people are thick anymore.

Bloody brilliant.  Just keeps you off balance all the time.   I love the whole doomed omnipotence thing.  A bit like Paul Atreides in Dune.

Mrs M was not impressed when I suggested that DM would be even more of a pain to live with than me😂

I just watched it on my phone (bit of a slow day). I have enjoyed the series very much even without any investment in the previous incarnations of the story.

Looking forward to rewatching in glorious 720p later (nowtv subscriber).

Thouroughly enjoyed that, love the ending leaving it open - I knew wouldn't see either way, but god damn!!!

Love that Ozymandias was just chilling in Tru's place for, well, god knows how long. Awesome little twists and turns 😀

Yeah, way back in Ep4.

There's a line there (just found the scene), lady trieu says 'So much of my sucess grew from the... seed of his inspiration.'

God damn.

Enjoyed that. Closed the season nicely, but lots of scope to continue. Obviously, whether or not the egg did the trick, but also, with cloning and memory pills, being dead might not be permanent, so a rematch in season 2 is possible. Yes, I was wondering how long Ozymandias had been waiting there, no wonder he was a bit pissed off.

Marvellous series.

I think the penultimate episode was just amazeballs.

Loved it.

Read a piece mentioning that the final scene with Angela's foot about to touch the water harks to the final panel in the graphic novel where the journalist is reaching for Rorschach's journal.

That was a great ending - one of the most unexpectedly brilliant TV shows this year.

That was great.

So, does Ozymandis now habe all of Trieu's stuff and things?

My guess is that season 2 will have Trieu's mum clone her and use memory pills to bring her back, then it will be full-on Ozymandis vs Trieu.

There are no plans for a second season - it was always designed as a one-off.

Glad I recorded the series, gives me plenty of time to enjoy it all over again.

If there’s no S2, then that’s fine. S1 was brilliant.

S1 was well received. If HBO think there's money in a second season, they'll make it.
