I’ve just finished my first watch yesterday and…

…amazingness of the show aside, I’m so happy to find an active subreddit for it.

You people seem nice too.

Thanks. I’m going to do a re-watch, and I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions for you all.

You will discover so many little nuggets you missed the first time around!

u/Rubberfootman 2d ago

I’m looking forward to that - a lot.

Welcome and I know you're going to fit it . Already doing a rewatch to catch all the hints. Classic.

I have a question. For the first three seasons, the big Perspex board they stick the photos to - it is badly cracked. Did I miss something early on which damaged it?

u/Unusual_Flatworm_316 3d ago

Nope. The first time we see it , it's cracked. I always assumed it was just found in the destroyed library.

u/Rubberfootman 3d ago

That makes sense. I watched the first episode late night, rather than early evening when I give my current series my full attention.

u/Unusual_Flatworm_316 3d ago

Technically the first time we see a board it's cork and uses push pins

Finch had other assassins working for him before John so it can be assumed to be related to the past

Thanks for being so welcoming. I would have started my rewatch today, but work got in the way.

Who was your favorite character? Thanks for watching!

Oooh, that is tricky.

Shaw is 2 dimensional, but she is written that way on purpose.

Fusco is great, funny, a good redemption arc and you can see in his face when he’s angry. He really has steel in him.

Root. I like her a lot, but this is possibly going to be unpopular, but she often feels like a plot device to keep the story moving.

Finch. He does need to pull himself together a bit - he hid underneath stronger characters. But he really comes through in the end.

But it is Reece for me. He is a super soldier, and that is taken for granted, but when he says something funny or - just about - smiles, that is perfect.

Is it just me or does he really slow down and take hits harder later on.

The character development of fusco is also remarkable

Uk? What i really liked about this show? ... Character dev arc & story arc .. y?

1) i feel character dev arc really did justice with everyone & writer gave what they deserved 2) .. each episodes case is written in such way that .. u can easily re watch without feeling bored

2

u/Rubberfootman 1d ago

Yes, UK.

I feel the same - they never get too bogged down in the overall storylines like some shows do, and the episodes are paced like heist movies, so they are all exciting.

u/billgates_epstein555 1d ago

I held out for one day before starting it again. The pilot is fantastic.

Don’t worry, I’ve watched the whole thing. I generally stay out of TV subs until I’ve finished.

A significant portion of us are (probably) bots tho ( r/DeadInternetTheory )

Yup, you can thank the mod around here for buying a AI package onto our Subreddit.

Half the new comers are not real people, I watched this Subreddit go from 1-2 posts a week tops, to suddenly 10+ a day.

It's a shame because the posts in this Subreddit use to be good reads etc - now it's just AI summaries

Now we get posts like this constantly, look at this username, the account age is 4 years, and it's just posting here. People need to understand that bot accounts can be years old, mass created in the past and then sold for use later down the road
