I really liked it! I thought the modernisation really worked, I really got a sense of how humiliating the pigs blood was for her.
However the prom deaths disappointed me… it was over fast and I didn’t get much sense of the terror. I REALLY did when I read the book. Also unsure of the overall Avengers style storyline
Just finished it. I would have been perfectly happy with the way the deaths played out if only…

If only Carrie was the one in control. Waiting the whole show to see Carrie fully snap, and when it happens it’s just her turning the wheel over to someone else. They didn’t even let her kill her mother in the end.
But everything up to that is extremely compelling and tremendously well acted.
Yep i thought the same. For me the glory of the story is how relatable it is… she snaps after years of abuse at home and being treated so badly at school. But they made her a proxy
Spoilers:
That’s my biggest complaint too. I think they wanted to make her innocent in all the destruction (especially since they were just dancing through the street). I think it fit the character of the show, but I don’t think it was the best version of the character.
Like you said, acting was fantastic! I was hooked and looking forward to every episode.
