The Fear Index

So it's not fair, why did Josh decide to get old?

The trick with the look in the last shots is the cannon! :)

The ending is quite predictable, but overall the series is not bad. It was interesting to see Hartnett in such a role. I even reviewed the Faculty to remember baby Zika))

After the comments, it became interesting to read the book.

This is the most "out of the book" series and it came out great. Because the second half of the book is wildly dreary with a lot of dialogues/monologues and reflections. I fought my way through them at the time. Especially (undoubtedly a plus) is the scene with Hugo in the restaurant. She looks a million times better here. Here, too, is the fantasy scene of killing (and eating) Gaby. She wasn't there at all, but she only sets the tone and the necessary schizophrenic notes on the way. Well, Alex, spiraling into madness, is fantastically good! Hartnett clearly needs to take on such roles more often.

Of the advantages:
- They moved some pieces almost from the end of the book forward. And that's good. The scene with the therapist is very relevant. While I was reading the book, I couldn't figure out why they came to her only at the last moment.
- Gradually increasing atmosphere. Just like Alex, who is slowly losing his mind.
- Josh's game. In some moments, I just enjoyed it. And I rewound/rewatched individual segments a couple of times.
- A moment with an exhibition and a child. It was interesting how they would transfer all this to the screen. The result is quite. I wanted to (personally) of course, it would be a little different to see it, but that's what it is ;)

Minus:
- The actress playing Gaby is just no good. In the book, the scene after the exhibition (and the moments on it) felt right on the edge. Even on the pages, reading, you understood that they had problems that they didn't talk about and she was on edge. And here. If it hadn't been for the slap, it would have looked like a normal conversation.
- Of course (over the years) I don't remember very well, but in the book, it wasn't like Miriam demanded Alex's resignation. What the hell was she supposed to convey these words and actions? Or did they go on the agenda here, and without a black woman pointing out the truth to white men, everything would have collapsed?
