I think all the 1-4 Star reviews are a bit severe - perhaps by people who loved the book and expected something different. Don't get me wrong, this is no masterpiece, but it's a fun series that doesn't require much thought. I think the problem is that it was a bit too watered down, not enough horror, not enough thriller so often, it just meanders through - but still entertaining. Give it a try and don't pay so much mind to the 1-4 star reviews, clearly those people have never watched Sharknado which is actually deserving of 1-4 Stars. Bottom line, it's a Netflix original, it's only ever going to be that good.
