haven't seen the movie or read the book so can't judge it as an adaptation, but this was a genuinely stellar show that felt exactly like a noir, it's shot in a very filmic way that really makes it drive into your head. it's very beautiful and the black and white is such a good choice for it, it makes everything feel that much more sinister and creates this powerful feeling of dread and anxiety that adds so much to the suspense. the cinematography and performances were amazing, it made me feel sick with anxiety in a good way. really good thriller
