It's exactly how I pictured it to be: Just a thriller. A straightforward downgrade, no doubt about it. But it's hard to make more out of it given the format and the resources.
The thing about "Demons" is that most of the social commentary is conveyed within the narrator's perspective. And the narrator has no real place in the story whatsoever, he's just there to fulfill a "political agenda", we could say; to give us full background on how despicable the characters really are. Going back and forth in time every turn of page. There's so many stories to tell, that the sheer idea of dealing with it on television would give writers nightmares for decades.
What gives the novel its chaotic nature is that character development surpasses the plot. The plot ends up being almost secondary before the monstrous problem that is the psychology of its characters.
So, yeah. I like it. My only issue would be the soundtrack. The music is straight out of a mexican telenovela. And for that, I'll take out a point. My final opinion: a score of 8/10
Also the intro is surprisingly outstanding and the acting... oh, man, the acting: marvelous.
