Re: TV: What Are You Watching?
I didn't find her especially likeable in the book, either. "Extremely" unlikeable? I wouldn't go that far. I wonder if your response is because of her relationship with another character, who I won't name here because it's a break from the book. If she's looking like a bully, I can see why, but I'm not having the strong reaction you are.
I hadn't thought about it, until your post. Shadow is likeable; other than him, the only characters who are sympathetic, at least for the part of the story addressed in (what appears to be) the Season 1 arc, are minor ones. My 2c. Also, in different ways the remaining episodes may soften your opinion somewhat. Maybe. |

Bookwise she was a little more detached, which I think works considering her circumstances, but I did get the feeling that she was legitimately trying to redeem herself. In the show she is very hostile to both Sweeny and Anubis, one of the only sincerely nice gods in the whole world, and that, in addition to her preexisting backstory makes me not really care for her too much. Maybe future episodes will change that though. |

Let's not spoil things more than necessary, considering many of our friends here have not read the book, and none other than us have apparently seen the show. But as I said, I understand your response. I didn't sense so much "hostility," as I did "goal-oriented behavior."

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?
I will second that idea. I really enjoyed it. I haven't seen the show, but I am kind of surprised that it is given the porn-y treatment. Granted it has been a while since I read the book (and I go through a few books every year).

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?
Well, the book isn't completely innocent in that regard. You may have forgotten some bits.
It is more demanding on a reader than a fantasy book for children, and to the extent that the show sets out its maturity with adult content, I don't have a problem with it. |

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?
I started watching this last week, and am on the 5th episode now. A little slow at first and then it picks up nicely. I like how the people visit each other and use each others abilities. Definitely adult.

Either way, I'll enjoy what I can of it and hopefully we'll see some of those actors in other shows in the future.

And yeah, I really like most of the actors and would like to see them in other shows, as the article I read didn't leave any hope of Sense8 ever returning.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?
Some time ago (without my knowledge) my son bought the Avatar, The Last Airbender complete series DVD set. We've been going through the episodes again. Such an amazing show.
