[7 - No tomorrow]

Sci-fi thriller mini-series based on a Stephen King book

Didn't much care for episode 1, which was a little too light for my tastes. The second one on Monday was a serious improvement. All about what something like this should be about; what it means and what it takes to kill a man.

Hopefully it can keep up this level.


Complain about the date format in the comments.

Hulu

[rettucs]

no idea who that is.

Regardless, Stephen King based mini-series have been dodgy in the past. There was one he wrote specifically for TV (can't recall the name - it was a 4-parter) which was great. A lot of his stuff just does not translate well to screen.

Still, having read this, I'm curious to see it.

I thought the first one was alright but it appears to be ignoring chunks of the book already. Inevitable I suppose.

Oh thanks for the reminder, wanted to check this out

Hulu's an online subscription site that's mostly for TV shows rather than movies.

This might be the kind of thing you watch in a lump. There's only 6 more episodes left.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

how long are the episodes?

 

[pete]

first was 1:20

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

first was 1:20

Yeah. A feature length opener.

Monday night was about 53 minutes.

You'd think the rest would be similar.

Off topic but Hulu has the excellent (now cancelled ) Irish comedy/drama Trivia. No subscription required if viewing on web. Trivia

Just watched the first episode. Liked it. Some nice touches. Interested to see how it plays out.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Second episode was really intense. Roll on the rest

The old dude in the house with his war story was great

Dude who played the dad is properly scary

I read this book last month. It's bible big. Had I known it was being made into a fuckin tv show...

 

[Hector Grey]

So, they're deviating significantly from the book. Now I'm glad I read the tome.

Is this show going to air on Irish tv? Can't seem to find a torrent of it.
