I read the book recently for the first time, and would warn Gibson loyalists not to expect an adherence to the novel's focus and concerns. This is more like a riff on the novel's story than an attempt to recreate it on screen. The framework is the same ,but the story being told is rather different, no matter how many identical characters and situations. More clearly goodie/baddie with the sides in the fight getting more equal screen time than the book where the enemies of the protagonists are much more a hidden presence. That said, the first two episodes have got me hooked and I'll now try to ignore it for a few weeks so I can binge more of it in one sitting.
