La verità sul caso Harry Quebert

People who judge a show when 'watching a bit' or after just one episode are pathetic and should not waste their time writing useless and utterly stupid reviews if they can't be bothered to watch the whole thing. In my opinion.

I can't wait too see how it all ends. This show is surely not predictable - you just have to keep watching.

A few years ago I read the book, on the one hand I thought it a real page-turner, but also a bit shallow and rather poorly written. I had the same feelings about this series. You keep watching because there are so many twists and turns and every episode ends with yet another unexpected cliffhanger. But as to the core of the story, i.e. the fatal love between young and (not so) innocent Nola and much older, handsome Harry Quebert, it impressed me as if that part of the screenplay was written by a teenage girl with some overwrought romantic fantasies: the way these two rather improbable lovers act and talk when they're together is so cloyingly sweet it makes your teeth ache. In fact, the whole story is made up of improbabilities, coincidences, and almost gothic circumstances, like mysterious disfigured men, multiple personality disorders, corrupt and murderous policemen, arson, etcetera, it's frankly a bit too much of everything.

Most of the acting is fine, with Patrick Dempsey as the main character, although in my opinion he didn't get enough room to really shine. Kristine Froseth made Nola more annoying than sweet. My favorite actor was Ben Schnetzer, I didn't know him before, he's very natural and convincing (and looks really awesome!).

All in all: involving but also a bit disappointing.

This show is ok. i will watch it for awhile to see how it unfolds. the acting is not always great. a fair bit of mediocre. . mcdreamy is definitely mccreepy in this show. i guess his best days are over with.

Granted, Dempseys make up isnt great, but the show had me sucked in from the get go. The acting is good and Dempsey and his 'prodigy' are believable as their characters. No complaints here!

After reading somewhere that there where 8 episodes, I was watching tonight with a sense of thank "God that's done and also, oh I am actually going to miss this." However it turns out that there are more than 8. So far I have really enjoyed it. At first I did think it was a bit weird with the age thing but I think it was made clear in an episode (where they stayed away and harry said he slept on the terrace or wherever, but basically not with her) made me feel like yeah actually this is a rare story of actual love not lust. I think it has been a slow burner that normally I would have given up on by now but it seems to keep drawing me in. It has spent a lot of time on one person that could have done it, However, It may be late in the day but now you start looking at everyone in a different way. So yes I do recommend this as a mild "who done it" . Wouldn't rave about it, but I'm intrigued and am looking forward to finding out the truth. As for the comments on the make-up and ageing, (the first episode I did think it was a bit unrealistic) who cares, after watching it for it's worth, make-up and hair is not something I have been paying attention to.
