Maybe if they created an original vampire show instead of remaking a classic that they’ll never be able to live up to, it wouldn’t have gotten cancelled. I actually would have watched the show if it was a new dark, creepy vampire show that’s emotional and touching like LTRRI.

By all accounts the show is seemingly not bad, so I give credit to the people involved for not making it terrible. I just think there’s nothing that needs to be remade 3 times. Why would I want to see a version of a masterpiece that’s merely ‘decent’? I’ll just watch the version that’s a classic instead...

The first few eps feel a little scattered and random at times, but around ep 4 it becomes apparent it's all been deliberate, so they feel pretty different in retrospect. A lot of stuff that feels like a random throwaway line turns out to have a lot more significance than it seemed to at first.

So I dunno if I could tell you the pace picks up, but the story comes into focus suddenly.

Kevin being president was a different episode. Everything in book of Nora was real. The Kevin episode probably isn’t real of course. But Noras is. There is a long standing thing about Nora not being able to lie… that is prior to the book of Nora where she gains the ability to. But she may or may not have decided to use it. She can lie now, but will she?

So was Kevin really in another world where he was the President and/or his identical twin brother? ...and if he told the story to you would you be able to believe him? That's the question to me, more than whether Nora is lying or not.

Her story may be a lie but how can Kevin think that given what he's experienced? Heck everyone in the world has experienced the craziness of the original disappearance how can you discount her story?

Was she lying? Telling the truth? Maybe, either way who am I to judge her experience.
