It premiered on TNT tonight. Anyone else tune in?
Liked:
- Production values -- didn't look cheap
- Cinematography -- well shot; felt like the grimy, turn-of-the-century New York depicted in the book
- Story -- very close to the book so far, though not as graphic (e.g., included that genitals were "removed" but not where they were put) More sex than the book had...
Didn't like:
- Pace -- the pace is slow, maybe too slow if you haven't read the book
- Acting -- average so far; Dakota Fanning is good, but the Sara Howard character is probably the best role in the first episode too; the Roosevelt character was most disappointing to me
So far: B-
The previews of future episodes look pretty good, so hopefully the pace picks up and it gets more interesting.
