I watched it a while ago when it came out here. A mix of dark humour and drama/tragedy. I thought it was very good. I've got the book but never got round to reading it.

It certainly wasn't an instant love for me, it was more of a grower. That said, I really don't think you can judge it (or anything else) on 15 minutes.
