First of all, lizzy Chaplin is great as Annie Wilkes. It's not identical to Kathy Bates' portrayal, but this is a younger Annie, with a child, actually trying to keep her illness under control. People are hard to please though, so of course there's gonna be complainers. I'm not really seeing any valid critism about her in the reviews at this point.
I was a little annoyed the show was starting out so political, but it does serve a purpose to the story and the characters. That was the one thing that had me rolling my eyes. But as long as it's done well, in a believable way, it won't be an issue for me.
The story had me hooked right away. It's off to a much better start than season 1 for me.
