I dont know what is more disappointing. The cast or the script. All the characters, the ones from the Novell and the new added ones, are introduced so slow and wodden. Especially the hero's! Leon A. Feels nothing like in the books. And the worst is Johansson. Completely over acting but giving nothing likeable. First episode includes way too many characters, which they don't explain. You don't know whom too follow. Ok it's TV - but the VFX is so poor. That's far away from the standard. But all this aside, the producers show that they didn't get the story and the fascinating telling from the Novell. It's about a global massive catastrophe!! The series feels like a small fisher town gets in trouble. The Novell is superb structured, and the series is not. Is not that they don't have budget. But I guess they spend it in expensive restaurants discussing what they have to change from the Novell. I am so disappointed!
