This is the book


Wow, I had no idea John Macdonald wrote it. And I've read every Travis Magee book he wrote. That series got pretty dark at times so I guess I can see it.

These are the 2 worst written kid characters I’ve ever seen in any show or movie. Just horrible

This entire show is worst / horrible.

This is one I'm unlikely to finish this season... that's how terrible it is. Last time that happened was True Detective S4.




------ Maybe spoilers -------


Everyone is stupid. It's so bad. When I see producers - Spielberg, Scorsese in end credits I go wow. For real? Amy Adams going all in a terrible southern drawl. Patrick Wilson going in and out of character. Hey, he's Patrick Wilson.


Those are just my opinions. Good luck.

Save yourself time, unless you like to watch and discuss stupidity.

How has this been? Have they done a good job with the remake without pushing agendas?

It's good, but creepy at times.

I haven't watched the last episode yet, but I watched the acid episode and you are spot on. Stupid^2.

I always give Apple TV props due to their high quality shows, but man, whoever thought this was worthy of putting on TV is a moron.

This last episode at the beginning where the dad is taking the boy from Max’s house had an alltime laughable performance from Bardem. Everyone should watch it. Oh my.

You’re hurting him! You’re hurting him! He’s just a boy! You’re hurting him! He’s just a boy!

I am now questioning myself after seeing y'all shite on this. I'm not enthralled, but I have enjoyed it so far. Possibly because this is the only iteration of the story I have seen.

To each his own, friend. If you’re enjoying it, don’t let us rain on your parade.

However, I personally find it laughably bad. The whole ball of wax too, the writing, the acting, even the cinematography is out of whack.

—- Mild Spoilers —-


Patrick Wilson telling Amy Adams to have good thoughts so she doesn’t have a bad trip was unintentionally hilarious. Natalie just jumping into Max’s car to go grab a coffee, Naveah living across the wall. Zack being whatever they’re making him be. It’s all ridiculous.

Watch Star City instead, I’m about to watch E8, which is the season finale unfortunately. How Cape Fear got 10 episodes is beyond me.

They’ve also done a terrible job using Savannah as a character.

The daughter voluntarily getting in Max's car after learning that Max's daughter has been living in their walls for weeks is maybe the dumbest thing I have seen a character do in a show
