The Passage (Vampire Apocalypse kind of thing)

[Loki]

Not seen an official thread for this but the first episode of The Passage starts on Fox UK on Tuesday evening.

Based on The Passage Trilogy by Justin Cronin it is an epic tale of the Vampire Apocalypse. I have read all three books and also listened to them all on Audible. Have to say it is one of the best trilogies I have read. Not sure how will this TV adaptation will fair but there is enough material for many many seasons if they get it right.

Really looking forward to this.

Haven't read the books so I don't know what to expect but it doesn't look bad and hopefully it holds up better than the Strain did.

If you get chance read the books. It's a rich epic tale and the ending is actually quite sad. Have to say Cronin develps the characters very well and I think the TV adaptation may miss that

It was ok and a safe first episode. Safe as in it didn't really push the boundaries like another network would have done. Will tune in again next week

I read both The Strain and The Passage trilogy. Probably sounds a bit elitist this(Not meant to by the way) but the Strain was a lot more trashy compared to The Passage Trilogy in my opinion. The pace of the The Strain for me is a lot quicker.

Hopefully, some company like Netflix or HBO picks it up. Too good a story for it not to continue
