Hello! On Sky.
I watched one and a half episodes yesterday.

Not my normal type of thing at all (sci fi) but I’m loving it.
Keeley Hawes is brilliant as usual.

Anyone else watching?

Or seen the film, for that matter, or read John Wyndham’s book?
Thanks!

I don't have sky but liked his books as teenager and the first two films. My favourites were the Day of the Triffids I always appreciated the simple solution and the Midwitch Cuckoos. It reminded me of my late mum one of my DD is so like my MIL and mum always called her The Midwitch cuckoo. I would have said more like the Cracken wakes.

I believe that a few people were disappointed/saddened by the ending. It was the same as the book…. if you discount the fact that Zellaby was a man and the explosion occurred in the school!
