@callmetrimtab This is based on a Clarke novel not Heinlein. But I agree with you, all the people hating on this mini series obviously didn't read the original book and are hating on it probably because they're idiots, heh.
@senses3 Egads, what a typo. Of coures it's Clarke. My bad!
@callmetrimtab This. I read the book first, only recently I got to know that this adaptation existed and it's a very solid and faithful adaptation. People should be judging this by this perspective as well.

After reading the comments, was surprised to not see anyone speak up who had read the book. Clarke is one of just about 10 masters in science fiction literature, and this mini-series captured his tone and thoughtfulness pretty well I thought. It was a respectful adaptation from book to screenplay, which I appreciate hugely because it is risky in this day and age to do something for the art of it rather than just profit.
It's not a show for the mass-mobs of mouth breathing corn syrup drinkers. It confronts our deepest dilemmas, and comes up with some terrifying and heart breaking conclusions. If you've got an introspective side, coupled with some moral courage, then this mini-series will reward you.
