and lively episodes of The Wire and Treme, this adaptation was "leaden and slack", which may have been due to an attempt to fill two two-hour time slots. Stuever also wrote that it was "way too long", and added that the show lacked suspense. Poniewozik characterized Rosemary and Guy (Patrick J. Adams) as "anesthetically generic" without a "complex relationship"; he likened the miniseries to a "lifestyle show" that becomes a "slasher movie". Despite some "redeeming notes", he ultimately called it "too dull". Stuever noted that the 2014 adaptation was set in "the hyper-aware boutique pregnancy" era, and pointed out one modernization that eased Rosemary's burden: Google image searches on Satan. David Bianculli of NPR felt the shift to Paris was unnecessary and that the adaptation was "neither refreshing nor original"; he summed it up as "just dreadful". He described Saldana's Rosemary as more appealing, but no smarter, than Mia Farrow's.
