The Snowpiercer TV reboot purposely distanced itself from Bong Joon Ho’s 2013 film. That was quite a feat on multiple levels: (1) The show knew that there was no chance to measure up to a masterpiece, so it chose, instead, to be relentlessly different despite being confined to the same claustrophobic setting; (2) The series managed to raise fresh questions about the source material (Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette’s graphic novels) while still embracing the story’s parable that delivers an absolutely frigid take on class warfare and social uprising. The show thankfully did not try to replicate characters resembling an unusually gritty Chris Evans and a deliciously bonkers Tilda Swinton because that’d be asking for failure. Instead, the show got weird in its own way, as a freaking procedural for awhile, and Daveed Diggs pulled off a fine revolution leader. Likewise, Jennifer Connelly did the ice-queen thing well, and overall, the first season more than embraced its imperfections while remaining pretty darn watchable.
