Love it!
This is an excellent show that really makes you wonder if something like this could really happen. It is not a leave you in a good mood kind of show though. Slightly depressing.

Really enjoyed this book. Michael Marshall Smith has an excellent vision of the future, clever ideas and well written characters, with slightly dark humour ans a few twists in the plot too. A great book, well worth a read.

A series full of frights, twists and plenty of thrilling drama. The acting was excellent and the characters perfectly creepy fitting in amazingly well with the themes of the show.

Extremely enjoyable.

"It is so long. I’ve never read the whole thing at once, but have jumped around a lot. I've enjoyed doing that, although the ‘80s mini-series, plus the excellent, recently released film, complicate that relationship to the book."

Rolling Stone's 309th greatest album of all time
Excellent album, including the superb anthemic Fortunate Son and a number of other songs in a similar vein. Great introduction to the band and a great example of 70s Southern rock.

Rolling Stone's 209th greatest album of all time
Superb album from one of the bands that made the 90s. Some totally excellent rock songs (Jeremy, Alive, Even Flow) and while there is some filler it is a brilliant listen.

The animation is as excellent as ever.
Clever and playful.
Fans and families alike should have fun watching this.
Dizzyingly funny and beautifully animated, family-friendly mayhem!

Excellent book! Steig develops his characters so fully that you really feel like you know them. I thought that even after the first book. I was sad to finish because I knew there wasn't another one to jump right into.
