I am 5 episodes in and disappointed how much the show veers from the novel. Furthermore, Holly Gibney, rather than being smart, intuitive, and courageous despite her personal challenges, turns into the "magical N*g*o" (read Spike Lee on this, especially with regard to The Green Mile) where she's a savant with unexplainable powers, coming along to assist the white main characters. It's a tiring trope. I'm curious if the series will end anything like the book, so I might stick it out. I recommend it for those interested in supernatural thrillers in general
