OK, a lot of negative reviews on here and the majority seem to be from people who have read the book. I get that but I accepted a long time ago that books/novels and films/TV series are completely different ways to take in a story. For example, Frankenstein the book, and the 1930s film bear almost relation to each other but are wonderful pieces of art on their own. Game of Thrones was a better TV series than the book, in my opinion.
Well, having never read the book, and only being two episodes in, here is my tuppence worth. The first episode is a slow burner and seems to be about setting up the characters who seem to be and interesting little bunch. It has haunted lighthouse feel to it and the look to the show is pretty damn good.
By the second episode, things really take off. And I have to say I am on tenter hooks. I only give it 8 because I don't normally review until I have finished a show. But this looks to be going in the right direction, to me. It's no Expanse (also a book I have never read), but it looks pretty damn promising to me.
