I thoght the first episode was pretty good especially the main actor. Have never heard of him but he was amazing. (Haven't seen the original.)

Not bad, though the writers of this adaptation certainly took liberties with the source material! The closing episode(s) involving Chicken George and his family were nothing like Haley's novel this is based on.
