Anyone else watch this. Tbh I’m not overly keen but my wife has got into it. My daughter studied the book as part of her degree.

It’s not the most cheerful program on TV.

I wouldn’t disagree tbh. My daughter reckons the book only covers the earlier bits.

I have followed it from the start and find it the most amazing program I've ever watched, whilst its not a horror program as such, I'd say it is probably the most horrific program I have ever watched & totally absorbing. You watch it and think 'surely to God that could never happen' (no pun intended) then when you think about it and the way things are going nowadays !
You are the first person to come on here and mention it, as far as I know, to the point I thought I was the only person who had found it. Elizabeth Moss is incredible in it, liked her in Mad Men but her acting & direction ability as ≈≈≈≈≈≈s this prog is truly amazing.
You could definitely say I am with you wife on this one SimonB

The book covered Series 1 & 2, Series 3 just started with a collaboration with the writer and Elizabeth Moss.

I’ve watched Season 1 and really enjoyed it. Although enjoying it feels like the wrong description.

I thought the episode were the takeover comes into effect, was absolutely terrifyingly brilliant.

I’m off work at the moment, and I’ve got Season 2&3 on the Sky box, all ready to catch up.

I read the book and it is easily the worst book I have ever read.

Need to catch up on this. We watched S1 and liked it, but couldn't get into S2 so much so stopped. Should really start again.

It's like watching Donald Trump's / Jacob Rees-Mogg's version of utopia.
