While I have no problem with the production value of this series, it's a completely watered version of the book.
I quite understand that it is not easy to capture all the nuances of a story from a novel in a film, but this series went overboard in watering down the atmosphere, sense of danger and thr heart pounding, nail biting actions sequence depicted in the novels.
Please do yourself a favor and read the novels. They are unputdownable and one of the best horror trilogy I have read in a long time. The novel made me an ardent fan of Blake Crouch and I was surprised he co-produced this series. I guessed the money was too good for him to turn down.
Read the novels and thank me later..
