    Never saw the film. Looking forward to the show though. Could be another winner for HBO, fingers crossed.

    Watched the movie earlier this year and thought it would be perfect for a remake. Glad it's in HBO's hands. Teaser trailer and talent involved already sold me. Won't be watching any further until it premiers.

    Every series wants to be like the First Season of Lost... J.J. Abrams is oversaturating the market with these series.

    Eh, oh well... Might watch based on the concepts.

    First episode came across as too cerebral, slow and boring...

    Hoping next episode can fix this.

    Need to rewatch the premiere. Was in and out of sleep. I did recently get a copy of the original film on DVD.
