Maybe American Werewolf in London is probably one of the few that got the balance right.

This is good.

The comedy is really funny.

The scares are really good.

And it's something that, it's the best show I've seen in a long time.

And I'm really, really excited to watch the rest of it.

Yeah, it is.

It's written by Jack Thorne who's done Adolescence.

I was really excited about this adaptation because I really loved Adolescence and I thought that kind of asked more questions than it answered.

I was a bit disappointed in this.

It's very kind of linear and straight down the line.

It's very much here's the good guys, here's the bad guys.

There's no ambiguity to it, which there is in the novel and there was in the 1990s film that I grew up watching, what I absolutely loved.

Now, why you would adapt a story about the fragility of democracy and the collapse of civilization these days, I don't know.

Okay, is it worth watching?

I would say no.

I'd say the film is much better.

Yeah, it's really good.

I'm surprised.

This had been released in the cinema.
