This series was intriguing and original... until ep 7.
The series takes a dive around episode 7 and just becomes silly. Apparently defamation laws don't exist in Sommerdale, Maine. The following episodes are just as silly.
I haven't read the book, however the writing in this series is quite sloppy. The narrative is presented well (save for gaping plot holes) but the final four episodes leave the viewer shaking their head in total disbelief at the sheer dumb things the characters say and do (or don't do).
If you're able to suspend your reality, don't expect too much, and don't try to work out what happened (because it's pretty obvious from around halfway through), you might enjoy this.
Kudos to Patrick Dempsey. He played a deeply flawed character very well. Kristine Froseth, who plays Nola, is definitely someone to watch out for in the future.
