Wow. Does that mean I should change my mind and watch the pilot? I only watched the first 5 minutes and honestly didn't really care for it, but I'm willing to give it a second chance and watch the entire first episode if someone can tell me that it's worth doing.
ReplyDeleteI personally loved it.
ReplyDeleteWatch the pilot, if you don't like it then, then you have only wasted 60 mins :)
It is hard to watch because it starts slowly and its not a familiar concept, but the pilot was just the warm-up.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give this a shot...and once this wraps AHS begins, correct? :D
ReplyDeleteHaving seen the first three episodes, it`s the second one that really gets to be the reason why it`s a good show. Just not a good remake in my mind.
ReplyDeleteGood news
ReplyDeleteSoon as a saw the pilot I did not worry about ratings honestly.
It's arguably the best new series of the past year and a very safe bet for renewal.
Although good ratings never hurt! XD
It is worth it. The plot is very slow and if you do not like the El Paso Detective Sonya it will be hard to continue watching. Most people would not understand her worldview. It is hard to relate to someone that blunt and focused. It does seem a bit unreal to people who have never been exposed to an AS person before.
