Anybody else watching this? Filmed under the far superior working title "Apocalypse Slough", this cross-atlantic co-production between Sky in the UK and NBC here in the US aired last fall across the pond.
The main cast is split roughly 50/50 between US and UK actors and characters.
The UK side is led by Mathew Baynton, who plays identical twins who were separated at birth. One grew up to become a risk-adverse accounts manager at a retail bank in Slough, England. The other grew up to be an anarchist "hacktivist" with an unstable personality and significant OCD issues.
The US side is led by Jenna Fischer, a librarian who was recently incarcerated after she took the rap for her son after he hacked into the NSA.
The UK cast also includes Joel Fry, Pauline Quirke, Paterson Joseph, Karla Crome and Diana Rigg.
The US cast includes Rob Lowe, Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman.
The first two episodes combined some staggering un-PC jokes with the black comedic absurdism of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
But three episodes in, it's developing an intriguing mythology as the various plots strands cross in interesting ways.
