See it if You don’t mind seeing a mediocre show that doesn’t compare to the movie

Don't see it if You expect great acting, interesting sets and characters you care about. Subtitles distracting & often unnecessary.

See it if you enjoy a show with different points of view, i.e. being deaf versus having all 5 senses. The set adds a cold feel to the production.

Don't see it if you want a warm, fuzzy show. I miss the bedroom scene from movie. "Say my name" added so much depth to their relationship issues.
