The Terror

[mjs9153]

Anyone catch the new AMC series The Terror based on the Dan Simmons book? It It seems to be okay so far, noticed some variations from the book already but that is to be expected I guess, though it has been a year or so since I read it.. any thoughts?

I recorded it but haven't seen the episode yet. It has good reviews.

I was conflicted between watching this and the Good Doctor. I watched the good Doctor. Freddie Highmore is awesome.

I haven't really heard much about it..so,is he a good doctor,or is that tongue in cheek?

He has Autism and he is a doctor. IT has been an awesome.

...this expression is usually my reflection when I first see myself in the mirror upon awakening......the things that a CPAP mask can do to one's hair is near obscene....

I've read a few of Dan Simmons' books (they're quite good) but not this one. I did watch the pilot episode over the weekend and was surprised by just how high-calibre this show appears. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the season in the coming days.

I'm also very pleased to note that Hollywood is finally discovering that there are other horror writers to adapt beside uh...what's that guy's name again?

Finished the season last night. The hallmark of a great genre film/show is that the story is so well-told and the characters so well fleshed-out that the "main" draw (i.e. the supernatural or sci-fi element) is just icing on the cake. This one definitely falls into that category. I'd encourage everyone here to watch this show.
