COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent book to screen adaptation submitted by ferielp on July 23, 2021, 9:26am I may be biased, but Matthew Rhys and John Lithgow rarely make bad work. This was a far more interesting version of the character than I remember from the books. Perhaps the plots could be better fleshed out but the characters were wonderful.

Very gritty and dark submitted by mandevil on August 22, 2021, 11:11am Matthew Rhys is always fascinating to watch, but i didn’t care for the storyline.

Caution! Dark Entertainment. submitted by snabbleon on August 9, 2022, 12:11pm Not anything like the original series or the books. Much too violent and dark for me. I guess if you like today's violent and graphic murder mystery shows this may be right up your alley.

Too dark submitted by courtneyhooper on July 8, 2023, 11:49pm Honestly, really upsetting and disturbing. Most of the first season follows the violent murder of a baby. Way too dark. Updating a schlocky classic is one thing but going pitch dark is another thing.
