    Anyone watching? Halfway through it now. Not amazing by any stretch but fun enough!

    It is terrible, 0/10, waste of time, don't watch even if you are fan of film/book.
    my 2 cents.

    Agreed, an awful mess of a series from start to finish.

    Watched the first episode. So terrible on so many levels. Awful direction, local drama society level acting, plodding, boring script, and completely absent any intrigue. Low budget and low rent.

    Avoid.

    I've a good tolerance for bad TV but I had to give up halfway into episode 4 it was so toxic, and I'm a big fan of the book and movie.

    First episode was OK but it went downhill with the speed of a runaway train.

    I loved the book and the Movie and I was really excited for the TV Series but going by reviews I think I'm going have to give it a skip, which is just as well as I have a backlog of over 1,300 TV shows episodes to get through as it is.

    I liked it! It was stupid and cheesy but fun as well. Not really a must see for fans of the book or movie cos it's quite different so a bit of dissociation is required.

    Yeah it's grand, an easy watch with stupid interactions and opinions but I'm still enjoying watching it. nearly finished season 1

    that woman in the mall is SO annoying

    edit: just did ep 8, it was so bad.

    5 stars on Netflix really means nothing!

    It is cheesy, easy to watch with some totally ludicrous scenes! Cheers

    I liked it for the most part. Started out good, story then dragged a bit and didn't really go anywhere very interesting for most of the series. Could have been better
