Annoyed the hell out of me first too, dutchman. It's a programme you have to stick with.
Quite strange, because for me it had massive plot holes, didn't make sense, was confusing and as I alluded to earlier, rather annoying. As the series wore on though I found I was just able to put all those reservations to bed and just go with the flow of it and it does get better and better.
Would recommend you stay with it, but maybe it's just not for you.

That's the best plan with most shows these days. People tend to over analyses everything. Just watch it and go with the flow and you're far more likely to enjoy something.
I think I would have preferred it if they'd left that final scene out. Wonder if that is in the books or something they added in to allow for a possible second season? Not sure that it should come back, probably better just to leave it as a mini series.

I agree Dave, it was a depressing ending after the massacre, the high profile deaths, it went from hope - Kate and pilchards sister saying 'openness and not more reckonings' cutting straight to Ben waking up and that final scene. I try not I over analyse to at the time I was just enjoying the show, but now I have a lot of questions. It was a bit unfair given people have invested a lot of time watching.

Having enjoyed the series so much, I've decided to read the books, I'm halfway through and there's already lots of differences!!

I thought about reading the book to cheat and know what was going to happen, read several book reviews and realised it was way off the book version. Deffinately changed and made for tv. Still, loved it anyway.

Yeah, just finished the first book, a very good read and like you said, way off the TV version. I loved the TV version but the books are nearly always better.
******SPOILER******
The biggest difference is that although Ethan was snatched first, Teresa and Ben were interested into the Pines 5 years previous and this is the third attempt at reintegrating Ethan into the Pines. Also Kate is about 60.
******** END OF SPOILER ********
Just waiting for the second book to come back into the library so I can read that.

Possibly, the acting is so wooden though. I'm not convinced its going to improve much.

Yeah, think so. Got better as it went on, though Jason Patric really doesn't bring any emotion to the main role and lacks the charisma of Matt Dillon.
Thought the flashback scenes with his wife were also very dull and tedious.

I think you mean 1, but yeah and it has lost its impact completely. Think it shows just how good Matt Dillon was, because Jason Patric is a very poor imitation.
It could have been good, but is rather a mess at the moment. The married side story is completely dull and uninteresting too. Think the viewer will have absolutely no interest at all in that very irritating minor distraction.
