Masterful adaptation of Atwood's classic book
There was a lot riding on this TV show, more than 30 years after the original book came out. But it was unbelievably dark, even more so than the book, and completely adjusted for contemporary times. Attacking various structures where women have fought hard for their rights such as the workplace, LGBTQ rights, FGM and pro-choice - this series shows how the state can take those rights away and take control of women's bodies. Extremely grim viewing, it really is a difficult watch.

Reluctantly obsessed
My sister likes to subject me to cheesy af TV shows in the vein of paranormal romance. This was one of her choices and I hate to admit that this show doesn't completely suck. It is undoubtedly cheesy af, and the two main characters (Scott and Allison) aren't nearly as fantastic as the supporting cast (Stiles and Danny and Coach and Lydia) but at least I can distract myself by blissfully staring at the multitude of sculpted abs!

Book Rating
I enjoyed this book but not as much as the first one.
The TV show has just started on Fox in the UK so I thought it would be a good time to read book 2.
It was a little confusing as the original group of people in the first book have dispersed and I couldn’t keep up with who or where they were. There are also other characters which seem to be part human part viral.
Considering whether or not to read book 3 as the ending of this one makes me wonder where the story goes next.

Sound Cast
Wow, just wow...
What can i say about this fantastic tv show? The first season shocked the world by becoming a massive hit with sci-fi and horror fans alike. This young cast has amazing chemistry and the writers created something special. It took me on a trip down memory lane reminding me of things like the goonies and stand by me crossed over with alien and poltergeist. Season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 ended and continues to deliver a cracking story and I look forward to what these guys can do next.

About what I expected - It made me laugh.
Take Baywatch (2017) for what it is. It is a movie based on a bad - though much loved - TV show from the 80s and 90s. This is not some huge dramatic movie. It is not supposed to be Johnson's or Efron's chance at an Oscar run. It is just a fun movie. I enjoyed it. There are some very funny moments and the cameos from The Hoff and Pam Anderson were perfect.

Well made adaptation
I love Robert Galbraith’s (J. K. Rowling’s) novels and was very excited when I found out they were adapting it for tv. That excitement bittered a bit when I learned each “season” would only be 2-3 episodes long and would cover an entire book. There is a lot of material in the rich and detailed novels that would have lent themselves to a full length season. That being said, the show was very good. The casting, in my opinion, is excellent. I wish there was more!
