Stewart.. As someone who read Earth Abides 20-25 years ago and remembers the book fondly, I was pleasantly surprised to see a show being made.
There is always a bit of trepidation when this happens, as you hope they stay true to the book and meet your visual expectations, knowing that it is difficult for a film or series to match what you imagined when reading it.-With that in mind, I am viewing the first episode with a bit of bias, but I am trying to see this as both a “new” story as well as a welcome callback to one of my favorite books in the “Dystopian/Post Apocalyptic” genre. The book was written and set in the 1940s while the series is a modern take, so the technology and general “feel” of the setting is different from the book.
Episode 1 successfully sets up an engaging story that seeks to honor Stewart’s themes of the year, inviting both fans of the book and new viewers to contemplate humanity’s place in a changed world. So far, the acting is good, the production and effects seem decent, if a little sparse (you’d expect a car pileup, etc.).
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December schedule for more!
