The Passage

I was excited for this show as a reader of the books. Then I saw the reviews and was worried. That worry was amplified when I realized it was a network tv show which is inherently limiting to sci-fi fantasy shows in my experience.

I won't lie, the pilot stunk of mediocrity. The writing and acting so so. It still has a sort of network tv vibe, but it doesn't feel as bad as the pilot. I'm thoroughly enjoying the story and anxious for the next episode week to week.

I'll be annoyed if the show gets cancelled, but so far it's looking like it could be based on the early reviews and viewership.

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.

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'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 😊

Had no idea what to expect. I really enjoyed it and cant wait for the next episode. Maybe not reading the books has given me an advantage of not expecting it to be the same. How many tv shows or films actually follow the book page by page. Looking forward to seeing the next episode.
