NOS4A2

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.

It starts out slow and weird but comes together in the end. The major pull for this show is the superb acting from the cast. The story is not as predictable as you would expect. The characters' personality and actions are not as typical as they first appear to be. N0S4A2 is a fun and entertaining horror series to watch and without a doubt one the best things to come out of 2019.

It's an interesting story-line, and Zachary Quinto is doing an excellent job portraying his character, especially when he transitions between the various age ranges that Charlie Manx occupies. But the female lead, Ashleigh Cummings playing Vic McQueen, is completely miscast. She's a 28 year old woman playing a teenager! If that wasn't bad enough, the actress they got to play her mother, Virginia Kull playing Linda McQueen, is 39 years old, and she doesn't look like her mother, but like her sister. Then they gave Vic McQueen an old-fashioned hairstyle, she looks like Adrienne Barbeau straight out of Maude from 1972! The character looks closer to her mother's age, than an 18 year old teenager. It's completely distracting, it's hard to suspend your disbelief, everytime you see the character you can't believe that she's a teenager.

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.

I really don't get all the hate. Sure, I haven't read the book, so I don't know what might be missing or not, but from what I've seen it's good. I also liked the second season just fine. Some say it was boring, but it had me on the edge of my seat, almost biting my nails. I agree that some of the characters could've been written better, but it's not that bad. What's with the Wayne hate anyway? He's an eight year old child, they are stupid.

I have to admit, the main reason I wanted to watch the series was Zachary Quinto as I've been a fan of his for around two decades and he certainly delivers as Charlie Manx as one is used to. The other actors and actresses I didn't really know, so I don't care about them too much. They probably could've cast a different actress for the lead role though.
