I guess it was okay, but as a HUGE outsiders fan of the novel and movie, I just don't like it - just my opinion. It was a good idea, and I know there was no way to get the original cast back but it wasn't the same chemistry on screen. I only watched very few of it, but I can already tell Darry's acting is weak, unlike Patrick Swayze's (original Darry Curtis) always strong performances, and other fans have been saying how they feel Scout is an bad attempt to replace Johnny. Also, Tim was neutral with Ponyboy's gang, not a close buddy, just a partnering gang member. I will admit though, whoever plays Two-Bit in this TV series has got the idea right, though he is no Emilio Estevez, he did a great job displaying the character in my opinion.

I was so excited for this to come out, for I'm a big fan of Flowers in the Attic and I'm still continuing to read the rest of the series. I liked it honestly, it got the most of the main ideas; yet I understand why my friend was so confused when we were talking about Flowers in the Attic; she had only seen this, while I have seen the original movie and read the book. I can't say my main concerns, for they give EVERYTHING away. I'm glad they included the shocks in the end. Over all, I think they did a good job, just a bit choppy. I think if you have read the book, you'll understand more. Because for me, I feel that if I hadn't read Flowers in the Attic I would have been somewhat lost.
