A brilliant adaptation of the classic with some twists that in my opinion do not harm the history. I would go as far as it improves it, but again that is just my opinion.

It is for me the best adaptation I've seen of Jules Verne's book. The characters are well cast, so if you like adventure, drama and a little comedy don't miss this show.

@tgvlx Glad to see a co-sign I like! I just added this to my queue to watch one of these days... when I get enough of my cheesy rom-coms lol

@jeaneats Nothing like a cheesy rom-com :-D And speaking about it, have you seen "A Discovery of Witches" - https://trakt.tv/shows/a-discovery-of-witches? If so do you like it?

@tgvlx You know what... I don't knowingly mess with stuff that has to do with witches and the devil... so this wasn't on my radar at all. Is it good? I see you watched Good Sam, what did you think? I was so excited about it and the first episode was a little slow for me. I'm going to watch a few more episodes so see if I'm sticking with it or not.

@jeaneats Regarding A Discovery of Witches, I like it, but I do like this type of shows invoking witches and paranormal, but the show is basically about the love between 2 different creatures a Witch and Vampire.
I liked episode 2 more than 1, but it's still a rather slow paced show, could be good. Sometimes you can fall in love with a show because it's actors and I like Jason Isaacs. So i'm giving it a chance.

@tgvlx Now I don't mind the vampire movies... I watched all the Twilight movies (because I'm corny like that lol). Interesting take that it's about witches and vampires falling in love! I'm glad we're on the same page with Good Sam... I was thinking the father would be more like Hugh Laurie on House but that's definitely not the case. I do like him though... just hoping the pace gets better.

@jeaneats Well I'm not ashamed to say I liked Twilight movies, I also saw True Blood and Vampire Diaries lol
Definitely the Good Sam could have that Dr. House feeling, see ep.2 and let me know what you think.

@tgvlx I knew we were destined to be Trakt buddies!! lol it's something about those vampire love stories lol. Okay, I plan on watching Good Sam as soon as I get home from work so I'll let you know for sure!

@tgvlx Okay I just finished watching Good Sam. It wasn't bad, it still is lagging somewhere. Just doesn't have the flow like The Good Doctor, New Amsterdam, or The Resident. I want to like it though, so I'm sticking with it.

@jeaneats For sure. I have yet to pick up on New Amsterdam, will binge during Easter vacation.
If you have time give this a look. https://trakt.tv/shows/wolf-like-me , I've been stuck watching it, the episodes are short but it's a delightful rom-com with a twist.

@tgvlx I'm so late with my response... I apologize! I keep hearing a lot about Wolf Like Me... I just added it to my list! I've been stuck catching up on The Good Fight and When Calls The Heart (I'm a sucker for that one lol). And I still don't know who talked me into watching Celebrity Big Brother since I've never had an interest in it before... but I had to see it to the end lol.
