Man, I need to try to see if my anxiety would let me watch this. I loved the original, and I'd like to see how this one handles the pheasant episode. That's one of the few parts I can remember vividly. I'd really like to see if it's as gut wrenching as the first time.
It lasted even longer in the original, as did the humiliation of the pilot. So far the remake has been very true to the original, but modernized. They made the boiling water scene more intense, but shorter. If it keeps being like the original then that first episode is the hardest to watch.
