The Day of the Triffids

..but if you like well made TV that isn't designed purely for the under 25s then this could be your kind of thing. Yeah it's not wall to wall cgi action sequences (but how boring has that become anyway?) and there's no smart alec teenagers spouting trans Atlantic nonsense expressions while they show the adults how it's done (again - big yawn). I have read the novel three times and there have definitely been a number of liberties taken with the original story, but the changes don't jar and have for once been updates that work. Oh and the final sin that will upset the goldfishy sheeple.. The downbeat, with just a smidgen of upbeat, ending. Well I for one love an ending that wasn't produced in some focus group luvvie big hug session.
