Season 1 Ratings & Reviews

  • Michael SurberMarch 18, 2025
    Not nearly as good as either the book or the original miniseries but it has it's place. Decent adaptation but none of the casting is as good as it could be and that affects the overall product here. Honestly, Gary Sinese is the ONLY perfect choice for Stu Redman in my book. Go check out the original, it's just better all the way around. M-O-O-N spells average for this remake.
