I have not read the books. I went into this because I like supernatural shows. I obsessively enjoyed IWTV and this is in the same universe so wanted to give it a try. The two shows are very different! First of all, the atmosphere is very eerie and creepy (which I don't mind at all!). Much more horror influenced, kind of in the vein of AHS Coven but not all the way horror like AHS + hints of mystery. The overall tone is dark and moody. The pace of the episode is very slow, but I've heard from others that the books are also very slow paced. I don't mind slow paced shows so don't have a problem with that. The acting was pretty solid. None of the characters really stood out to me in a compelling way though. It's a show I still will continue to watch just because I like the spooky genre and I enjoy the visual aspects of it a lot. I think it's a decent start!
