I have found this TV series very frustrating. Too many questions and hardly any payoff. The biggest problems are the unrealistic characterisations, actions and reactions. It's like the creators have never interacted with real people and thought what they would do in such circumstances.

The concept of the show is good as well as the filming of it, but it stretches credibility to nonsensical and the patience of its audience.

I can't start shows like this - M Night reminds me of JJ Abrams - starts shows with lots of mystery, but never really had an answer to the riddles, which I find to be crazy frustration. JJ's biggest example was Fringe - what a killer show, but more questions than he could answer. I've heard that about Servant so I've avoided it...

Did you finish Fringe? While I didn't love every direction it went, I didn't feel it left a lot unanswered in the end.

Even though I very much enjoy The Servant once I acclimated to each season's groove...a lot will depend on the final explanation for everything. It's one of the shows I look forward to each week tho. Most shows I just wait and binge anymore.

pushing through to the end of season 2 was a total ball ache. Its just so stupid. I won't be bothering with season 3. NO ONE BEHAVES LIKE THAT IN R£AL LIFE

If that's the metric you rate movies by, then you must be very disappointed with...literally everything.

I love love LOVE this show. I find the writing and acting delicious. People who enjoy realism might be disappointed, this is more a show for those of us who like tense psychological thrillers, along with a dash of good ol' camp.

Off topic a bit - but how has For All Mankind not won every TV award available? Great frackin show. I just finished the second season and wish the third season was already available. Fantastic, riveting television

Yup. One of the best shows on any network. Grounded drama that asks questions and answers them in a fantastic way
