Anyone else a fan?
I began reading the books back in the 1980's and loved the Channel 4 adaptation when it came out in the early 90's. I rewatched that before taking on the new Netflix show that revisits the characters in the present day.
Initially I was a bit thrown by all the new kids and stories, and didn't like the new Michael Tolliver actor so much. But all began to grow on me and by the 3rd episode it was thoroughly enjoyable. It's got some good funny moments and the character stories are all interesting enough. The only thing I wasn't too big on was seeing the full-on bumming scenes! I'm not really a fan of explicit sex scenes whatever the orientation as they always just seem titillating to me.
The end was satisfying and I'd recommend it as a decent watch that doesn't require the sort of time investment a GoT or Breaking Bad requires. It does help to know all the character back stories though.
