Despite the overwhelmingly negative reviews I've seen here I decided to give episode one a try. I found it engaging and an interesting take on the source material. I have read the book and seen the original mini-series several times respectively, so I am quite familiar with the storyline and I didn't mind the non-linear story telling. I found the acting to be interesting and the characters engaging. Maybe the is better told sequentially, start to finish like in the book, but all the important bits are there and you'll have to pay some attention to put it all together. Not what most folks would expect or like, but I am looking forward to episode 2. In short, don't avoid giving this show a try based on the negative reviews alone. Watch the first episode and who knows, like me, you might find yourself enjoying it.
