Based on the first two episodes, I can say I'm eager to see what happens next. Initially, it seemed to be heading in the direction of the film "Contact," starring Jodie Foster. An alien signal with scientific information that's used to create something. But pretty soon after, it went in a completely different direction. Unexpected, but interesting.

Also very funny is the opportunist who immediately knows how to take maximum advantage of the situation that has arisen.
Yes, these first episodes (without sound interference, by the way) certainly invite you to continue watching this series.

Sounds good! I haven't started it yet, but now I'm even more excited. ;-)

The third episode with the hand grenade (Grenade) is also brilliant. I'm still curious to see where this will go, but the journey has been very enjoyable so far.

Very strange, but now on episode 2 and again just as many episode 1 hiccups in the sound, very annoying
Are more people experiencing this problem?

Surprising series, a bit like Black Mirror.
Started off very interesting with the discovered alien signal.
Furthermore, it remains a mystery how this scientifically arrived at, and by that I'm referring to the contamination. Warning: spoilers below:

I'm guessing the signal is some kind of mRNA code they recreated in the lab as a virus for testing on animals. A minor accident (with that rat) then infected the entire world population. This sounds a bit like a "black swan event" or a Fermi paradox, where humanity is seen as a (too) great threat, and this is a measure to curb humanity's aggression and belligerence. I'm just making this up, but it's very similar. So I'm really looking forward to the next episodes!

Apparently you can no longer edit posts marked as spoilers, so here it is as a response to my own post:
So far I'm quite enjoying the series, but I'm starting to find the fuss surrounding Carol and her recalcitrant behavior about how she's coping in this "new world" a bit irritating, and they don't really delve into the how and why of the "change."

The tension is completely gone in that regard. I'd rather learn more about that signal and the possible arrival of the people who sent it. More science, Sci-Fi, and less drama, then.

I also find it unbelievable that only a few people are like Carol. Surely there must be many more people who haven't been in contact with the others, just like in "The Walking Dead," for example.
Anyway, I will continue to follow the series with interest.
