If you've read the books but others are watching with you haven't, you're going to have a hard time holding your tongue. I know it's picky, but this family has lived in New Orleans for centuries and not a one of them has a southern accent. The one saving grace is the actor playing Lasher, at first, I thought he was horrible, but he's growing on me. It is what it is...I don't expect anything great to come out of adaptations based on AR's work.
Hell, I've been waiting my entire life for Hollywood to film the original ending to I Am Legend.
