give it a chance

Wow. So many negative reviews here after only one episode. Yes - there were many changes from the book - but there always are with TV or movie adaptations. The SPIRIT of the story is still there. I like the character of Vic, and the murderous opening sequence with Danny and his mother and her boyfriend was truly horrifying. Quinto is intriguing as Mr. Manx. I read the book 6 years ago when it was first released and knew then that Joe Hill was a worthy successor to the King name. I will be an avid watcher. Give it a chance, all you nay-sayers.

Fun to watch

I read the book, but like any other book-to-big screen adaptation, I didn't expect it to be just like the book. NOS4A2 is my favorite horror story and Joe Hill is one of my all time favorite authors. The show is definitely different, but still extremely interesting. I highly recommend giving the show and the book a try.

The first episode is all questions...so far so good.

All questions, but my biggest one is why does the mom and daughter look like the same age. In real life there is an 11 year difference in their age. They didn't do a good job with that particular casting, but other than that it's ok so far.

Mixed bag

I honestly tried, gave it a more than half the episodes but sadly just weren't my thing, I saw the trailer a while back and was interested but something about the show really didn't capture me. Honestly glad to see there are people that enjoy it, and hope it lives up to your expectations. Looking over the reviews it seems one those shows you'll either really get into or just wont. Hope that helps, But on a more technically side I did like the way it was filmed, maybe I might come back maybe not, wait and see.

Even out the 1 episode reviews

I'll be glad to update this after I get through the season but all these cheapskates that watched one episode and crapped on this show need to be put in their place...you can watch the whole season for 5 bucks and let me say it has been well worth the ride halfway through. The acting and writing picks itself up insanely well after laying a foundation in episode 1. Wait it out if you want and watch it over the next 10 weeks. 5 dollars more (the price of the cheapest movie ticket in my area) let's you binge this and to me its 100% worth it. Creepy and well written.

Trivia
While Charlie Manx looks at his map, several of the locations seen on the map are connected to works by both Joe Hill himself and Hill's father, Stephen King.

Derry, Maine, is marked as "Pennywise Circus". Derry, Maine is the setting of Stephen King's "IT". Pennywise and Manx both like to steal children using seemingly innocent ideas turned deadly (clowns, and Christmas respectively). And both exist in places where reality is thin.

"The treehouse of the mind", is also featured in Joe Hill's second published novel "Horns", and according to Hill himself is both an inscape and also a means to access the inscape, much like the Wraith in NOS4A2.

"Lovecraft keyhole", probably refers to Joe Hill's comic book "Locke & Key", which takes place in the fictional town of Lovecraft, and where keys and keyholes play a significant role.

Quotes
Vic McQueen: You tell Father Christmas I'm coming for him...

Crazy credits
In the opening credits the Scrabble tiles shift to momentarily show words or anagrams of words related to the plot, like "Xmasland", "sevoflurane", "Sleigh House", "gas mask", and "House of Sleep".
