Any HBO fans catch the premiere of this one tonight? I thought it was pretty good and plan to continue watching.

I dvr'd it and just paused it 25 minutes from the end of the pilot to post this, Steve.
I'm still not sure if I'll stick with it, but it definitely doesn't suck.
OK, back to it.

I watched it and am definitely intrigued.

For what its worth I thought tonight's episode was really good. I am going to stick with this show.
I'm so intrigued with this damn show. It's certainly taking it's time getting anywhere lol, but something's definitely coming and this slow burn is seeping into my soul! I do like all the characters a lot and I have no clue where it's going...two big reasons why I'm gladly in for the ride.

I have not seen Sunday night’s episode yet (have it DVR’d), but they have me hooked. I know the show is based on a book, but have never read it. I think it is very well written and acted. At first I had a bit of a problem with all this stuff just happening in a small town, but they have expanded things out to show the same in other parts of the country so I have less of a problem with it now. I have not seen anything about how it is doing ratings wise or if it will be brought back again next year. Lindelof had me hooked with LOST and it looks like he has come up with another winner here.
The Levftovers has been renewed for a 2nd season. I am still digging it. I have no clue what is going on with the sherrif main character, but it is keeping my interest. Kind of sad to see Patti character killed off. Ann Dowd is an incredible actress. She also had a small part in "True Detective" which was very memorable.
I'm right there with ya, Steve. These GR folks certainly go out in style don't they?! lol
And not only do I have no clue what's going on with Garvey...I have no clue what's going on with anyone! It's pretty fascinating to me though because it's not frustrating. I like that I still have no idea.

My wife and I started it but, like you, I have no idea what the heck is going on, or even why some things are happening. We are DVR'ing it to catch up with later perhaps.
We have moved on to watching other great shows this season like The Last Ship, Tyrant, Orange is the New Black, Extant, Penny Dreadful, The Strain. Damn, there are so many fine shows this year that our DVR is filling up with the first rate "second raters" to be caught up with later (if we don;t run out of space).
PErsonally I hate that I am spending so much time in front of the TV this year.

I'm still planning on catching up ON DEMAND eventually.

I thought tonight's episode was great. still not sure what the hell is going on, especially with the cop, but still very much digging it.
I've tried it, but IMO is was boring. It felt like "Lost", and doesn't it have the people behind that series? So then you'll know you won't get satisfying answers.
Good episode last night. It was good to get a little deeper with some of the characters. Setting up for the big 2 hour season finale in 2 weeks.

BTW, I didn't watch last Sunday's epp, but it seems Garvey and Tyler Durden have a lot in common.
"That gum you like is going to come back in style."
I don't blame you. Let's just hope Lindelof doesn't take this one for a fantastic 5 season ride, then hack it to shreds in the 6th and final season.

My guess is that this type of show won't go that long. It's a guessing game with lots to uncover, but nothing like the web that is Game of Thrones say. We'll know more after what's uncovered in the 2hr season finale. I'll be honest, there is that voice in my head that says "disappointment awaits, bitch!" but we shall see.

Holding off on picking it up again until I read about the success or failure of the season finale. If things don't get clarified somewhat I doubt that I will be tempted to continue with it and move on to something else.
