It’s hard to recapture the magic of the original. But this certainly adds nuance and is engaging the way through. There are a number surprises, and clever tie-ins to the original series.

It was impressive how Collins twisted elements around, like the reaping. And that Haymitch was in on the rebel cause since the jump. text
