Delirium

I have read the delerium series and loved each book. This pilot is could not be farther from the books. I get that adaptations won't be exactly like the books but this adaptation ruined the plotline and the characters. First of all, they rushed the important events and took forever to get through the minor events. They also sabotaged the characters by changing the things that set the character apart from the others and disreguarding all of the traits that made the characters relatable. New characters were added that didn't really aid in telling the story and only left you confused. There was a lot of bad acting and you could completely tell that those scenes were forced and scripted. I have seen other adaptations that have at least been in the same ballpark but this is a major disappointment.

This aired an a pilot episode on Hulu after it was rejected as a series for the Fox channel.

I actually wish that I never watched this because after seeing it I longed for another episode, but then after a quick google search realized there would not be another. It's a great thriller romance and the plot is fairly original. I think the actors chosen also played their parts well and none of them came with a predetermined character type that they usually play the role of.

Great show and I wish it could have been picked up; I'll just have to read the books to find out what happens.

I just thought I would give my thoughts on this show since I am such a massive fan of the book trilogy and Lauren Oliver's work. When I first heard it was going to be made into a TV show rather than a movie series, I was shocked and scared .. As normally TV adaptions are further from the book than they would be if a movie. However Delirium exceeded my expectations. Yes many things are changed from the book, But i honestly believe that it didn't ruin the series for me at all. I really loved it, seeing how the city was portrayed and the characters come to life on a screen, It was amazing and I thought it was great. Definitely better than i thought and I would recommend that anyone who read the books or is curious about the show to watch it. I actually loved seeing this interpretation of it.. I know it has changed a lot but that's what's supposed to happen, we get a different take on the books and get to see it come to life and I loved that. I am bitterly disappointed that the show was not picked up by a station and I wish we could see the ending to Delirium. I would do anything to see this show finished and completed and I beg whoever is in charge .. to make more! It really needs to be finished off !! I was thoroughly enjoying it and I am hoping with all my heart that it continues on!! Thanks!!

I admire this book, really. It has an amazing story line. And I was delighted when I heard this book to be adapted into TV Movie. When I saw the first time, I particularly liked the casting Emma Roberts as Lena. Because she does look like Lena description! Eyes that aren't green or brown, but a muddle. Not thin but not fat either. The only thing you could definitely say about Lena is: She's short. and I think she's great portrayed as Lena. Daren Kagasoff as Alex, are you kidding? he did not look like Alex. In the book Alex is describe with golden brown hair, like leaves in autumn just as they're turning, and he has bright amber eyes. He's tricky one. and I thought Alex Pettyfer would look great as Alex Sheathes. And poor Hana, she is nowhere near Hana description. Hana has golden hair, halo hair and bright gray eyes, not black. I prefer Ashley Benson as Hana.

Pretty good pilot. I really hope that one day it will become a movie. Because the story of this book is fascinating.

(sorry if my grammar is messy)

Because I liked the books I was pretty excited about this series and to see how this would translate onto the small screen. After watching the first episode I was pretty disappointed. The story moves way to fast and does not spend enough time introducing the characters or explaining the concept. The relationships between the characters evolve to quick and are very unbelievable.

I feel like they really wanted to put as much of the books storyline into this one episode and it causes the whole thing the feel hasted. I truly don't understand why the pace had to be so fast and why they did not just take more time to get into the characters and the story.

All and all it was a complete waste of some really good story material. The acting on the other side was pretty good, I was especially impressed with Emma Roberts who plays the lead as Lena. It is a shame that they rushed the thing because they really could have made a great show with this cast and story.
