I watched it because I can tolerate quite a bit of jank if there's nothing else compelling to watch, and if the source is good. That said, I don't know if I'd consider it enjoyable. Effects being cheesy is fine. But the pacing was very odd. Not sure if it was originally released on another schedule, but watching it straight through, the pacing seemed really odd. It started out fairly decent, but around the midpoint it seemed to keep rehashing things a lot more while completely forgetting about some threads. I still applaud the effort, because it's not necessarily an easy adaptation, and as you say, they stick to the source pretty strictly. I'd rather a mixed but solid attempt than a complete rewrite to be more typical cable/streaming fare (which is what I expect from the upcoming Netflix version). Also, I know this is common in reverse, but it was hilarious to see the C-grade acting from the not-Americans in the "war room" scenes. It was like someone reading from a script with zero comprehension or emotion. I was curious if they just didn't bother past finding a guy who spoke English, or if they wanted him to sound a certain way but didn't care about the acting since it wasn't aimed at an English-speaking audience.
