A new Apple TV series based on the Blake Crouch book of the same name starts next month. Starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly. Eight episodes.

I really enjoyed the book so I'm interested in this. Plus, Apple TV has a pretty good hit rate.

Just finished the book, so was happily surprised to see this coming out. Now if only they could do a legit adaptation of wayward pines...

Im not a fan of how they spell out the plot line so much in that trailer. Lots of key components that added to the fun of the story as they are revealed, but this feels like it takes away from some of the entertainment of the story. Oh well, I guess it makes sense to drive interest, and I shouldn't do the "in the book they did it this way" thing. But even if it's exactly the same as the book, it's still nice to guess along the way vs having it spoon fed to you beforehand.

Also, anyone else tired of the multiverse trend we have going right now?

I thought this was going to be about the new Pearl Jam album.

There was one spoiler I noticed that was kind of a big one. But if I remember right, I think it's pretty early in the book. So maybe it's not that big of a deal. Agree with your sentiment though.

One of my all time fav books. They did a great job with Wool, so we're looking forward to this

Really enjoyed the first two episodes. I'm in on this. Looking forward to the exploration of the different realities. How are we going to refer to Jason Dessen that was kidnapped from his reality?

Kidnapped JD = JD Prime? lol dunno but it would be cool to tie in a reference to physics/quantum superposition.

Very much enjoyed the first two episodes.

Enjoyed the first two episodes so far. Looking Forward to the rest of the season. It reminds me of the show Counterpart.

I was going say "spoiler alert arsehole!!!" Then I watched the trailer and realized it is the spoiler.

This happens so often now. My wife and I will be looking for something new to watch and check out the trailer for something that looks interesting. Well...it looks good, but we don't really need to watch it now. It just showed us every single thing that happens in the series!

Anyone still on this train? We enjoyed the audio book on a trip a few years back so decided to give it a go, but through 3 episodes IMO it's been a derivative snoozefest.
