The Passage

I've read the books and loved them, but I'm open to watching a tv adaptation. Some people are expecting this programme to be in some way a direct correlation with the book. That's not what an adaptation is anyway. I've read all the Outlander books but still love the show which does digress from the books. Hopefully this series will be an interesting representation of the Novel! I've watch the first episode and it's a solid 8. If it hold my interest I shall amend my rating 😊

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'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).

What a shame. I really liked the story and characters in The Passage. Nothing was ever predictable, and it offered up plenty of scares for network television. It's a shame shows like this get the axe after one short season, yet millions will tune in year after year for season 37 of CSI: El Paso, or another awful singing competition. Sigh.

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.
