Anyone watch this on Apple? Just finished episode 1 and sort of mixed.

Sort of feeling Vince Vaughn’s shtick is up.

It's lightweight entertainment. VV does VV-patter and there's some nice scenery along the way.

I liked it, but I had read the book.

It’s not bad. Vintage Vince Vaughn with his dialogue and banter. Goes off the rails a little with the VooDoo chick.

Like most series they could have cut at least 2 episodes worth of pointless shite.

The voodoo chick storyline could've been left out. The character felt forced and was irritating as hell.


Outside of that.


Great show.

Fun book, show was a fairly faithful adaptation

IIRC the voodoo lady in the book was more of a creepy geriatric and they made her younger with a tragic backstory for the show. I’m sure that was to avoid caricaturing a Caribbean lady and while it further theme of everybody be griftin, it slows things down a bit

Enjoyed it. Agree completely that the dragon queen storyline was pointless. I’m very familiar with Big Pine Key as we go a couple times a year so it was cool seeing it featured so prominently.

Was surprised to see Scott Glenn in this. He is 86. It was a small cameo though.

He’s still getting it. Also showed up in White Lotus this year.
