The Passage

I have watched the first 2 episodes and so far I love it. Good plot, great actors, perfect pace and not predictable. I did not know what the show was about when I started to watch and that is a good thing because I do not even like that Genre and I would not have ever bothered. A win for me.

I havnt read the books so I had no pre-conceived ideas. I found this both entertaining and enjoyable so definitely give it a go.

The Passage trilogy is my favourite book series. In fact I'm listening to the first book on Audible which is a completely different experience itself. As far as the TV Series goes - it's fun. I would never have thought to make it that way myself (saw it more on AMC or FX or something) but it's zippy and fast and has its own heart so just sit back, relax, take it for what it is (different to the books) and it will all be ok.

The only people bashing this show seem to be people who have read the books. As someone who has not read the books (didn't even know they existed until recently) I thought it was very interesting. I might even go as far as to say that it's the only show on network tv that I am interested in at all.

I'm in the second camp. Had no idea what this show was about or that it was even based on books, and I really have enjoyed the first 5 episodes so far. Have never seen a good vampire TV series, and this seems like it's got just enough to keep things on topic, but not to scare off folks like me who thought True Blood was trash, and there was that one on SyFy that was OK, for like three episodes, but it somehow lasted years. I just hope it doesn't go the path of so many other great series that premiered on Fox that were never given a second season, even when they'd have been stars at any other network. Fox loves to cancel good shows, so I guess we'll see.

I'm still not sure what the first season or even the next episode holds, but I'm definitely going to be watching for as long as it's on the air (hopefully that's at least more than one season).
