    The spooky stuff is what will sell the show, but what makes "NOS4A2" interesting is the amount of time it spends on the ordinary daily drama, which apart from Vic's family, includes a classic (though very tentative) teenage romantic triangle and social-class story lines.

    The acting is solid, and that’s what grounds the show, even when it explores the supernatural and worlds of make-believe.

    I will update this IF I decide to finish the show and judge it independently as a show.
    So my biggest problem is that it is SO different from the book right off the rip that I absolutely cannot bare to watch. This is my 2nd attempt and I just honestly don’t think I can do it. Vic isn’t even anything like she’s supposed to be. I feel like the ball was dropped hard here. I’ll do my best to give it a more fair shot independently as a series, but as far as book adaptations go this is the worst I’ve seen.

However, this is still the most underrated new show of 2019 and a good adaptation of the book. Full Review »
