I'm trying to talk the wife into it, but she's worried it's too dark and depressing... which seems to be a theme with shows these days.
I'm only 1 episode in, but can confirm it is dark and depressing. There is a scene with the town's people all watching the fire from a bridge (obviously not far enough away to be safe) and kids are making snow angels in the ash on the ground. A mother and father are pushing a baby in a stroller watching the glow...my kid hasn't even arrived yet and it hit me in the feels.
Okay, so that's a no go for her. Pretty much everything involving kids upsets her since we've had one. There was a scene in Jack Ryan involving the terrorists wife and kid that pretty much turned her off that show. I guess I'll add it to ever-growing list of shows I need to find time to watch alone... like finishing Mr Robot season 3. Good thing I've got all this free time on my hands.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
