NOS4A2

All questions, but my biggest one is why does the mom and daughter look like the same age. In real life there is an 11 year difference in their age. They didn't do a good job with that particular casting, but other than that it's ok so far.

Season 2 was BADDDDDD ! When I reach into my bag of tiles I see cancelation in it's future ☠

I really don't get all the hate. Sure, I haven't read the book, so I don't know what might be missing or not, but from what I've seen it's good. I also liked the second season just fine. Some say it was boring, but it had me on the edge of my seat, almost biting my nails. I agree that some of the characters could've been written better, but it's not that bad. What's with the Wayne hate anyway? He's an eight year old child, they are stupid.

I have to admit, the main reason I wanted to watch the series was Zachary Quinto as I've been a fan of his for around two decades and he certainly delivers as Charlie Manx as one is used to. The other actors and actresses I didn't really know, so I don't care about them too much. They probably could've cast a different actress for the lead role though.

It's an interesting story-line, and Zachary Quinto is doing an excellent job portraying his character, especially when he transitions between the various age ranges that Charlie Manx occupies. But the female lead, Ashleigh Cummings playing Vic McQueen, is completely miscast. She's a 28 year old woman playing a teenager! If that wasn't bad enough, the actress they got to play her mother, Virginia Kull playing Linda McQueen, is 39 years old, and she doesn't look like her mother, but like her sister. Then they gave Vic McQueen an old-fashioned hairstyle, she looks like Adrienne Barbeau straight out of Maude from 1972! The character looks closer to her mother's age, than an 18 year old teenager. It's completely distracting, it's hard to suspend your disbelief, everytime you see the character you can't believe that she's a teenager.

Wow. So many negative reviews here after only one episode. Yes - there were many changes from the book - but there always are with TV or movie adaptations. The SPIRIT of the story is still there. I like the character of Vic, and the murderous opening sequence with Danny and his mother and her boyfriend was truly horrifying. Quinto is intriguing as Mr. Manx. I read the book 6 years ago when it was first released and knew then that Joe Hill was a worthy successor to the King name. I will be an avid watcher. Give it a chance, all you nay-sayers.
