I have little hesitation in recommending the adaptation to my friends, though.<br /><br />I like your "M Night Shyamalan channels Ed Wood" description. Man, it's too bad Wood himself isn't around to cash in. Never quite got around to checking out <i>Wayward Pines</i>, and while that wasn't so much a decision, it sounds like the right call anyway.<br /><br />I did see the third season of <i>American Horror Story</i> this summer, the one with the witch boarding school. Good for the first half. Energy flags after that.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590397694589547524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499771778569209667.post-74941555402528850212015-08-11T03:31:09.060-07:002015-08-11T03:31:09.060-07:00even tho we watched this only a little while back,...even tho we watched this only a little while back, & enjoyed it, neither of us can really remember very much of it. maybe it has something to do with just how extremely unforgettable the original was?...<br /><br />speaking of limited series, we recently had the great displeasure of watching 'wayward pines' (yes, that's the actual name - 'wayward pines'), which was half 'twin peaks for idiots', & half 'm. night shyamalan channels ed wood'. you'd have to search pretty hard to find a story with even half the plot holes & inconsistencies of this monstrosity. awful in a genuinely remarkable way, to the point where part of you wonders if it's intentional, & the creators are knowingly, deliberately yanking their audience's chain? because, well - why not? it's not like there's a whole lot of critical thinking going on out there :) ...semiconscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408133540133249835noreply@blogger.com
