Well, I didn't expect much, but after the unnecessary remake, I thought that a miniseries would be a better way to tell the story in the book. And this show is indeed better than the remake, but at the same time, it still shies away from the darker and more perverse tone of the original story.

But somehow, if you take it as its own thing, the show improves a little throughout the episodes, and it's not that bad. It's not good enough, though. If you've read the book and want to see a faithful adaptation on the screen, this is not for you.
