Has anyone watched the Fox/Canal+ version of War of the Worlds?

 

I came across it on Disney+ last night, and ended up watching the first four episodes. 

 

This is a joint US/French production with half of the story set in France and the other half in London.  So far the adaptation has very little in common with the book, or other adaptations, but I've found it entertaining enough so far (it's kind of an odd mix between a Scandinavian crime drama and the reboot of Battlestar Galactica (the parts set on occupied Caprica).

 

Will probably burn through the final four episodes this weekend, and have just read that series 2 will also be on Disney+ mid-July.

Watched both series,and found a sneaking regard for it. Okay, it is NOT the book, by any means, but a free-form jazz riff on the basic story, if you like! And i loved the ending which most critics online didn't!

Anything's got to be better than the film starring Tom Cruise 🙄

My Dad played the original radio broadcast to me and described the ensuing panic when I was young. The story really captured my imagination.

Loved Jeff Wayne's musical version.
