Should have been much better. I loved the book, and the extended version. The first series was really good. Therefore, was quite excited to hear of a remake. Oh boy. I sat through the first episode, my will to live shrinking from the poor narrative style. Whilst there are some great actors in the cast, sadly, they were not given enough time to develop the charactets, making me feel meh about the whole episode.
I do not give up easily, and decided to watch episode 2. I really wish I hadn't. Same as episode 1,so have given up on it. Reading other reviews. Think I did the right thing.
