I quite enjoyed the books, so I was looking forward to the TV series (FX/Watch).

A bit underwhelmed so far. It's a bit Sharknado.

Weird isn't it

The books are underwhelming. I can't decide whether to watch it or not.

It's a bit B movie.

Like a mediocre episode of the X files, but not quite as good.

Oh :( I loved the first book in the series and have this on series link. Disappointed to hear it's not all that.

Well I'm still watching, so not too terrible either. Just a bit more obvious than I was expecting.

enjoyed watching it last night, thought it was much better than The Leftovers. Can't wait for next week.

I've watched the whole series. It took a while to get going, but I quite enjoyed it once it did. Haven't read the books though.
