I read the book and really enjoyed it. They have done an amazing job interpreting it to TV. The lead is perfect and Zachary Quinto is Charlie Manx. I'm only halfway through it and I'm curious if it goes all the way through the book. The cinematography is beautiful. You have to get over and past the fact that the bad place is called Christmasland. It's not the point. If you like dark subject matter it's a great read and show.
