I haven't read the book, but can definitely say that the episodes are well directed and the direction is slick. The story keeps you on the edge. However the drama and the suspence in the first episode is not matched in intensity in the second and third episodes. Am waiting for the new episodes. The main lead is good and has a good Australian accent. My only grouse is wish there were more Indian characters. But maybe this has got something to do with the book. Also, wish some famous names had been taken in as Indian characters. I don't recognize anyone except Aly. Hope the suspense stays on in the upcoming episodes.
