Every time I've seen people say they want a 100% faithful adaptation, I realize they don't remember just how damn weird these books are.

I had completely forgotten how amazing that monologue about his childhood is! I'm laughing like a crazy person here.

Looks very cool.

I thought he was weak, really bland and barely there, but I was just reminded he was in The 100 and wasn't terrible in that show, so maybe it's just the stuff he got to work with here. Or it's a deliberate choice of some sort that will lead to something.

Berg only directed two episodes out of ten in season one. Not sure I would call it the Peter berg season.

Filler has got to be one of the most meaningless words that people nonetheless throw around about everything.

It was fantastic. This show is on a whole other level.

The blandness of the lead is a definite problem. I didn't knew he was a model, but I did get the sense that he wasn't cast because of his acting abilities. He has that generic hunk look.

The bit with the vikings was interesting and there's some striking ornate visuals, but the rest was rather bland. It'll be interesting to see if the show can engage people like me who haven't read the book or is already obsessive Fuller fans. I'll give it a few episodes to see if it has more to offer than just razzle…

I can't disagree that would be better, but when shit needs to be sold, companies doesn't seem to care. It's the name of the game, fun show or not.

Using the word attacked sure is a peculiar choice.

I read their passivity in the coffee shop as shock. Like if someone randomly came up and punched you in the face. Sure you might get angry at some point, but at first you'd just be confused. And in this case there's also the pressing matter of suddenly not having any access to money.

I'm fairly sure that's not what a straw man is.

I've had a bit of a cold lately, but it seems to be going away now. Thank you for asking.

Weird how everyone aren't talking about how much they hate Bruce Miller yet for daring to tell this story. As far as I can tell he's not only a man, but white too.

That backlash sure didn't last long.

Any attempt to commercialize a commercial entertainment product from a commercial provider feels wrong? Well, that's certainly… something?

There is not a single thing about this film I didn't love. Amazing stuff.

This was one hell of a film masterfully directed. But for whatever reason it gets a lot of shit you don't see other based on true stories film get.

This final season and the way it almost completely discarded Hitchcock's film doesn't sit so well with me. But what can you do. The showrunners obviously don't care that much about it either, it was just a springboard for them to do their own thing and that's their right.
