Hamish Linklater is brilliant. Wild that he is terrifying immortal guy on a scary island again.

Anyone who has heard him speak will not be surprised that his mother was a very famous acting vocal coach. I am an actress and have a book called Freeing Shakespeare's Voice that was written by her.

Too bad he was a one-off

It's the perfect balance of scary and hilarious. This non-horror person is loving it.

This is the funniest show - I laugh out loud in every episode! Which surprises me because I thought it was going to be stupid and it's so great.

I was absolutely dying at the scene with Mayor Loftis in the room with the undead Warren. Matthew Rhys is hilarious.

I admit some episodes are harder than others for me, but yes, the humor keeps me in it. It's actually really impressive how they manage to do both parts really well -- the humor and the horror. If they short-changed the horror, it would still be funny but less satisfying. The whole point is that the horror gets you emotionally amped up and then the humor is this release. It's sort of psychologically brilliant.

I howl with laughter, all the while peeking between my fingers! It's such a bizarre combo but it works.

I need commentary on the finale! I want season 2!

There’s an article on why this is the show of the moment in Washington Post.
My subscription expired but I’m curious

The article is not really worth reading. It is unnecessarily focused on politics. Can't we have one tiny corner of our lives that isn't tainted by politics?

PP here.

I didn't know it was him either. I thought "Wow that is some brilliant acting" and looked up who was playing the character -- and it is him. Amazing work.

I'm also excited to find some time to watch the finale and discuss it all here. Get ready for spoilers everyone!

I finished it.

Liked how it wrapped up in a way that was both unexpected but inevitable. I did feel this last episode dragged a bit, and it didn't have as much humor as some of the other episodes (or if it did, I'm missing the allusions). Although Dale coming into the room and screaming something like "This is a place of death!!!" was hilarious.

Best show I've watched all year for sure.

I loved this show but was a little disappointed in the final episode, mainly because it wasn't as funny as all the previous eps. Of course, Ruth and her narration of the pictures and her life was pretty amusing. I knew who the very last descendant was going to be - how could it not be? Looking forward to Season 2.
