Wheel of Fire

The story is interesting. The cinematography, delightful. Even the music is great. But the dialogue was written by a sleepy, detached person. The first scene alone was as beautiful in it's imagery as it was awful in the script...

Very good starting, the ending music was a great decission, i didn't expect that. Have some dubts with the script like other guy sayd.. but is ok.. Is very intriguing and what a images on that... amazing photography.. was cool.. hope it get better... let's see. Was annoying for a while but realistic i think..

I might rate it after I watched all the episodes but as a fan of this book, I love how the series captures the heart of the book...

E01: Wheel of Fire This is the beginning of the Georgia Flu Pandemic. It might sound scary considering the ongoing pandemic but the flu in this series is much dangerous and quicker so you will go past that. The strange thing I feel watching this pilot is there is a warm sensation watching Kirsten and Jeevan interact with each other even in the middle of cold snow. We are introduced more with Jeevan and Kirsten while in the book they only meet for a while, and I love how it turns out. Also, that plane scene is so subtle.

If you looking for accuracy , maybe, it is not the episode for you.

If you loved the novel, each innovation gives more power to story . Because the mark of pandemy is intense.

Sure, high expectation about a novel who seems out of adaptation. But it works and the relation between Kirstin and Jeevan works just well.

Fair acting, fair cinematography and the carol sound in hospital is just thrilling. The young. Matilda Lawler and Himesh Patel are just a beautiful team. The young Kirstin reminds, in some measure, to me, The Little Prince of Saint - Exupery.

Short, read the novel by Emily St. John Mandel ! And after you read the last page, discover this episode , not as remember of images known, not to compare with the lines of book but for meeting with new nuances .

I enjoyed this first episode a lot. The cinematography was beautiful and the emotional connection the audience feels with Jeevan is established early on. This episode does an excellent job making you feel trapped. I found myself feeling the same emotions as Jeevan was throughout the arc of this episode. This episode is fairly straightforward but be forewarned episode 2 is a whole different ball game - and not in a good way.
