Pilot was good. Will watch the rest of the season.

So what all series got produced by Amazon? I watched a few pilots and I shouldn't have. There were several that I wanted to see and I'm pretty sure most got the axe.

It's hard to get deep into because of the speech/thought process of the characters and the I Ching being infused throughout. I loved the premise but honestly didn't enjoy the book much at all. I could see how having it be a mini-series/film would make it much more accessible...

I have not watched it yet, but io9 seemed to like it a lot and says it's 'wildly different from the book and still great'.
The title sequence is at that link too and I gotta say it's pretty sweet looking. |

Started reading. Fell asleep while reading it. Not sure if boring or I was just in need of a nap.

All in all I'd give it a 4 out of 5. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the series...

Huh. Never posted after watching. Short version: I liked it. A lot.
Amazon's picked it up for a full season. Turns out it was their most-streamed pilot ever, so it was a foregone conclusion. |
