Great Adaptation
read the book a long time ago and loved it. So glad to see it being made into a mini-series or perhaps it will be a continuing series? At any rate it is excellent. Dark themes and not for the squeamish. Caleb Carr did write a sequel to The Alienist titled The Angel of Darkness so there is fodder for at least another season and the concept can be further expanded. This reminds me a bit of The Knick, another historical drama roughly set in the same time period.

Fantastic
Just loved it. That cast is great, the sets amazing , costumes fabulous. I really enjoy period pieces. While I’ve not read the books I thought this was well done. Keeps you guessing. It’s like stepping back in time when forensic science was beginning .

SO well done!
Watched this when it originally aired and had to add it to the rack as soon as it came out on BR. Hard to believe it was filmed in Hungary because it totally passes for turn of the century NYC. Not for the kiddies, though.
