patrick dempsey wasn’t as hot as he should’ve been
I didn't like the book so i hope i would like the film. Nope. It's all a non-sense.
I've red this book last year and I loved it. This is an incredible story and an awesome adaptation. This show manages to make an interesting story and keep the watcher engaged even if you know how the book ends. I know this show have some strange things ,but the acting is good and the story is really enjoyable. For me is a 9 out of 10!
This is an interesting watch. but the terrible ageing makeup is so laughably distracting! It's talc and biro levels of bad . . .

This is terrible. Completely unbelievable in every way:
- When does the police ever let a civilian lead an investigation? The famous author Marcus stumbles upon evidence, time and again quite easily, that the police sergeant failed to catch during his investigation of the same case.
- Marcus honored Harry’s request to burn his notes without looking at them, especially given that a copy of the manuscript was found with Nola’s body.
- How is it possible that Nola and Luther maintained a regular correspondence (enough to write an entire book) but neither Nola nor Harry realized this during all the days they spent together?
- The police deiced to check when the missing girl’s mother died only in the eight episode. What a twist, huh?
Wooden, unbelievable characters. They could have come straight out of the most banal stereotypes - reclusive famous author, tough black detective, secretive small town folk, Lolitaesque nymphet - Nola, (it sounds like Lola, which is reminiscent of Lolita, how clever, right?) has literally no personality. She is the epitome of a manic pixie dream girl, wearing skimpy summer dresses, traumatized by life.
The acting is not that great either, reminded of a poor lifetime movie. Horrible ageing makeup, and Patrick Dempsey was supposed to look 34? Yeah, right.
