Has anyone started watching this?



It's a Robert Kirkman show but it's on cinemax so it doesn't have the same restrictions as the walking dead. I caught the first episode and I was actually really drawn in by about the halfway point. It is a little confusing and utterly creepy. I will be tuning in again for the next episode.

Haven't caught the show yet but I do read the comic that the show is based on and love it.

Been reading the comic since the beginning and love it. Probably too soon to judge but overall I think the translation to TV looks very successful. The actors playing Kyle and Fr. Anderson look very close to their graphic origins and the show's look and feel clearly quotes the stark look of the comics without overdoing it. I'm very happy about the adaptation happening.

Things I love about the comic series so far: Despite the theme of possession, the weight of the Exorcist legacy doesn't really bear upon the series. I like that you can either be religious or atheist or somewhere in between and still thoroughly enjoy the story ... the authors are intentionally not "taking sides" in a way that would alienate anyone.

Definitely gonna stick with both the comic and the show.

I'm going to wait on this one. I haven't read the comics yet, but probably will soon... I'm just a little wary and need to wait to see how much this show veers away from the source material. The Walking Dead went way too far out of the way for my tastes, to the point where it became frustrating. :? I just eventually stopped watching because it was getting too ridiculous.

I think the fact the show was being developed before the comic was even published should mean it can stay true to the source material. Honestly I think a great deal of the problems the walking dead suffers come directly from AMC itself so this show being on cinemax is great. It's already renewed for a second season as well which is cool.
