This is indeed one of the better shows of the year, which is no small feat, to be sure, lots of great dramas and other genres being released as per usual - and very much a great second adaptation of the book, and the masterful award winning original film.
It does not merely set out to tell a shot-for-shot remake, but delves into its own tone, whilst staying true to the original work (in some ways more so than the original film), and it works wonderfully. The actors all do an incredible job, Gustaf Skarsgård makes a welcome return as another character, and brings another, terrifying and dark dimension to it.
The cinematography, cutting and editing is great. Great imagery, great shooting.
Overall, definitely a highly recommended drama!
