Spoiler alert, I really hope they green light a season 2, I really enjoyed the twists and turns and the girls are great but the final season left me hanging for a season 2.

So far, so good, about halfway through the series, I gave it a chance because of Emilia Clark and she is much better in this than that Secret Invasion series on Disney. The plot is good and story line moves well. It has more humor than I anticipated but given the nature of the plot it is an entertaining series and worth your time.

So far, so good, although I'm only into E1 as I type. I generally love Emilia C's work; the darkly lit scenes do remind me of 1976-era lighting; the entire feel is '76-era as I remember it. The music is from that period or year. I would have been about the age of the main characters (perhaps I would have been a few years younger). The pickup truck in the trailer-park scene was ~1976ish but showed too much wear and rust on the paint as it would have been fairly new in that scene, however.
