Perhaps hoping in part to capitalize on the author’s fame, Syfy adapted Martin’s sci-fi horror novella Nightflyers into a TV show that will air its ten episodes in doubled-up chunks across a five-day span.
The programming move may have some thinking Nightflyers isn’t worth viewers’ binge-ready troubles, and most critics seem to support that.
Even in the middle of its massive two-year gap between seasons, HBO’s Game of Thrones is still one of the most talked-about TV shows out there.
