I watched this without expectation. I hadn't heard of the book. I hadn't seen any previews or descriptions. What i found was a pleasantly dark show. It's uncomfortable and unpredictable and has what is hopefully an amazing story to tell from a unique perspective.
We're put into the head of a stalker who seems to be a hair's width away from violence. The tension is held well.
But what REALLY made it feel uncomfortable for me was a rather odd choice from the network. Swearing is censored out. There are these conspicuous blanks in the dialogue. It had me obsessing. When you've got a show this dark, who the hell do they think they're going to offend with a little swearing? Are they expecting kids to be up watching it? It's content is far more offensive than swearing could ever be.
Apart from that one VERY annoying point, it's a brilliantly put together show. I'm looking forward to watching more (though I'll probably find myself swearing at the TV about the missing dialogue).
