Delirium Pilot Reactions

The Delirium series is one of my all-time favorites. For awhile, it was rumored that the books were going to be adapted into a movie. In January, Fox announced that they would be adapting the series into a TV show. At first, I was very skeptical about the news. There is a lot higher margin for great error when creating a television adaptation. After awhile, I grew to like the idea. Instead of only seeing 2 hours of a movie, we get to see over 20 hours of a show. The audience will be able to learn more about the beautifully flawed society of Portland, Maine. Here are my thoughts on the casting choices:

Emma Roberts as Lena

Additional Thoughts: Not exactly what I pictured, but I hope she does a good job

Daren Kagasoff as Alex
