Station Eleven (2021)
Excellent Adaptation
I loved the book and I'm loving the series. It's not an easy storyline to adapt to the screen -- it's a complex interweaving of characters and timelines -- but I think HBO has done an excellent job.
I feel confident rating the show so highly based on the first episodes, because I know where the story goes and can see how this the series will get there. It's disappointing to see the low reviews from people who haven't really given it a chance.
The acting is amazing, especially Mackenzie Davis. The scene where we see her first perform on stage, with flashbacks of her as a child, had me entranced and ultimately in tears.
Stick with it, and you'll be rewarded.
The Wonder Years (2021)
Many reviewers haven't actually watched the episodes
It's odd that the overall rating is below 6, yet each episode's rating is over 7. I think most of the very low reviews are from people who haven't watched the show, or, at best, have seen maybe one episode.
That being said, I think this is a delightful show. I remember the original, which was a perfectly good show for the time, but this is a fresh take and aimed at a new audience. It doesn't hurt that I'm a huge Dulé Hill fan, and I'm glad to see him in a series again.
