at first I feel kinda cheesy watching it - nostalgia - but by the 4th episode not only was I totally hooked but I realized the plot is honest.... really honest... and the actors really show well developed characters that surprise u with their actions but not so much that the action is out of line with who the character is becoming... I believe im enjoying this more than I like the original movie ... and I am impressed with how it follows the "loser" from the original movie, and his perception of how things went down.
