For those with Netflix, apparently it won't be available until tomorrow.

Don't remember hearing any buzz about this. But loved the book and just happened to catch the first episode while scrolling through the channels.

Was definitely into it and set the DVR. Looks great so far!

Not as good as I had hoped. I don't like the cinematography at all, the acting is nothing spectacular and the dialogue really stiff.
The story however is very good and I'll stick with it.

I'm halfway thru the book right now and saw an ad for this on a webpage, I was like "Wha?!?!?"

Don't know if I should watch it or not. Seems a big book to put into what, 8 hours?
