Had high hopes for this TV series...

Sadly, I have to say that so far at least, it's a disappointment.

Too different from the book for me. And, did they have to shoehorn a
lesbian couple into the TV series who did not exist in the book?

Yeah. I expected *some* differences from the book, there always are in
TV/movie adaptations of books, but....

This is almost a different story altogether. I may not even finish
watching it.

The first sign of trouble for me was watching Barbie bury a body at the
very beginning of the first episode. This is a completely different
story - almost might as well be The Simpsons Movie.

Or you could say this is The Regulators, and we were naively expecting
Desperation. :)
