Has anybody here seen the Riverworld two-part miniseries on SyFy? Any opinions on it?

No, but my general rule is that 99% of any original programming on the SyFy channel sucks... but this could be the 1% ;)

It's just very difficult to find an objective opinion. It seems that everybody has read the books before viewing the movie (or movies, including the one made in 2003), and then they get all bent out of shape because this version is nothing like the books.

I haven't read the books, and I thought it was a good made-for-cable miniseries. Those who read the books thought it was pure crap.
