I'll begin with the positives, the casting, the music, and the beginning of the first episode! The casting is spot on - Brendan Gleeson is almost exactly how I pictured Bill when I read the book! Harry Treadaway is excellent as Brady, and Kelly Lynch is creepily perfect as his mom! Well done! And the music is so good, lots of variety and quality in every episode! And, that first 5-10 minutes of episode one is just a gut punch! I almost couldn't watch it happen!
Now the negative, for me. This really drags on and on. As much as I like the acting, the storyline is proceeding way to slowly. And I'm so tired of the scenes in the electronics store. Maybe this material is better suited for a movie. Or less episodes. I like it, but I'm a bit bored. Not sure if I'll continue the series.
