COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Adaptation submitted by majean on August 16, 2018, 6:23pm I really loved this first season! It follows the book, but also builds on it and fleshes out a lot of the book's side characters. Rutina Wesley is wonderful to watch! I am also a fan of Anna Paquin. It was hard to get used to her as a blonde after knowing her as Rogue from X-Men.

Stick with it submitted by caburr47 on August 4, 2019, 10:32pm The show actually gets better each season. Lafayette is the best and Terry is so genuine. You care about each character even when they do stupid things.
