The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
The lead actress is great. The premise is a little far-fetched; of all the concepts this show has thrown at me, this is one of the tougher to swallow, even if they do a good job of creating this particular world (I swear it's the set from The Truman Show). The story really picks up once she gets picked up by the truck driver (Cherry Jones, here much more likable than her character in Transparent). I think this episode's biggest problem is how much time they spend setting up the premise -- it's perfectly clear within the first 5-10 minutes, but they keep beating the horse for another 20 mins before anything interesting happens.
High Maintenance basically made the same commentary in 10 minutes, and it was way more impactful.

This show seriously fucks with your head man. Pretty fucking cool.
Can't get my wife to watch it. I told her the plot of the first episode, and she just said, "I wish I didn't even know that plot. I'm not going to watch that."
She didn't even react that way when I explained the plot of Human Centipede.
Fuck. I made myself think about the plot of Human Centipede.
