At first I was taken back by a few "changes" from the original but after the first episode I was hooked Netflix did an amazing job. The special effects are extremely well done and believable. At first I was concerned about how a female Dr smith but you soon start to despise the character-Parker Posey does an excellent job making you believe and resent Dr smith All the other actors have talent and make their characters fit into the story. My one complaint is having to wait for season 2. Looking for an addictive show. This is it
