I really hope this is good but I've been burned way too many times with netflix remakes / adaptations in recent memory :P

Having the entirety of the movie cast behind me also makes me wonder just how expensive was it to make, what are the chances of it actually getting picked up for later seasons? Some googling tells me it's only an 8-episode season so far which doesn't seem like that much to cover the original comic properly.

But the comic is also pretty short, so I can’t see how they’re gonna stretch it out that much. The movie did a pretty good job of covering all the books more or less, so I can’t imagine this show being more than maybe 3 seasons.

I hope it's just one season. If the movie can blaze through in 90 minutes, they can flesh it out and have plenty of room in 8 hours. The comic is what, 5 books? Not exactly Game of Thrones.

There's also a question if each episode is 20 or 40 minutes. Either way, I can easily see them having a few episodes just for high school flashbacks or something, which doesn't leave a lot to cover the 90 minutes of the movie that could easily be expanded more to go more into the characters of each ex.
