Watched an episode of this after #Barry last night. So far Dead Ringers is (already) A LOT. Too soon to tell if it's good, but I've heard some pretty consistent praise about it (& it's writing), and even after just *one* episode Rachel Weisz's performance is tremendous.
Don't talk about specifics for anyone who hasn't watched yet- and no spoilers (of course)- but has anyone else checked it out?

@stina_marie I also watched the first episode and my main takeaway was that Rachel Weisz was giving it everything she had. That early delivery ward montage gave me a bit of emotional vertigo for sure. Gonna be hard to beat the original purely because of Jeremy Irons' performance, but I hope this series ultimately has more interesting things to say.
@zeigert I barely remember the original and am considering a rewatch, but I think I'm going to finish this first!
@stina_marie Also I just learned that Dead Ringers is at least partly based on a real events!? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_and_Cyril_Marcus
@stina_marie @horror I’ve watched the first couple of episodes. I disliked the Jeremy Irons characters so much in the original that I’ve never seen it again and don’t remember a whole lot about it.
In this one I hate absolutely every character. Skin crawlingly terrible human beings. But Weisz is very compelling as the two leads and I’m being dragged along.
@MetalSamurai @horror@a.gup.pe Fascinating. Definitely intrigued now to watch more episodes.
I saw the original but have only a VERY hazy recollection of it- been debating whether or not to revisit it. I remember not liking his character though, so maybe I'll just finish this show before deciding.
