So we are 4 episodes in to the 10 episode run. Don't want to post any spoilers yet in case anyone wants to catch up on On Demand, but are there others here watching?
The first episode drags a bit, but it is all stuff that is important to set up and the last 15 minutes or so really get things going! Can't wait to see what happens next week!

Thornton's character is great. I love the act he put on this week while being questioned! And I'm a huge Martin Freeman fan. It entertains me probably more than it should to hear him speak with a Minnesotan accent.

Rewatching last week to prepare for this week. Tonight's debate: which is worse, the wood chipper scene in the movie or the taped-to-the-gun scene from last week? We're split at one vote each here, anyone care to weigh in?
I think the to taped-to-gun scene was better. The build-up was brilliantly conceived and executed. You saw the inevitability and could feel the victim's terror. The woodchipper was gory but Carl was already dead by then.

That was exactly what I said! I'm not impressed by blood and gore. Anyone can do gore. The trip wire outside was pure evil genius, and the terror of that first barrage of bullets was just the start. Plus the smaller glimmer of hope when he gets his mouth free...just brilliant.
