NFT: The Passage (tv show) on Fox

ron mexico : 12/17/2018 10:30 am

Any other book readers interested in watching the show?
Really enjoyed the first two books, the third one was a bit of a mess if I remember correctly.

So I'm interested in seeing the adaptation but not optimistic. Fox generally doesn't do dystopian settings very well and I have doubts that Mark Paul Gosselaar can carry a drama but at least its got Emmanuelle Chirqui to look at.

what's the premise?

It seems very similar to about 10 other things that already exist, right?

Zack Morris is Trash

Nah, not gonna watch it, but it does look pretty good

MPG was pretty good on NYPD Blue

basically scientists create a bunch of super vampires which fuck up the world. One of the super vampires remain good and Zack has to protect her to save the world

The previews remind me

......a bit of �the strain�

I read the first two books - loved the Passage, thought the Twelve was

just OK, and I did not like waiting 4 years for the third book, City of Mirrors and i don't think i finished it. I couldn't remember the character relationships and was totally lost / uninterested. I might watch the show.

I read the first and second book, never got to the 3rd one

I read about 650 pages of the first book

and ran out of interest in the characters. Does it get better?

If you didn't like it at that point, I doubt anything after that would change your mind. You pretty much finished the first boo, which was the best one.
