Loved the books. Don't know if I would feel the same way today. Definitely going to watch this. With a show, they can follow the book completely instead of having to squeeze shit in one movie.

I guess this makes me happy, after waiting for them to make sequels to the 2004 movie for years.

The books were a very good read when I was younger, so I'll most likely check this out.

Loved the books when I was younger, they suit a Netflix series so much better than a film.

The series was good and I am surprised there never was a spinoff series. I would have enjoyed seeing what happened with the Quagmire triplets. I also hope some of the original cast members have a cameo in the show, mostly Emily Browning.

Enjoyed the movie very much. I'd watch this. Had a bit of a crush on Emily Browning then.
