complaining about it being a direct attack on Trump

I haven't seen any comments like that, but I'm not surprised. I even checked when this adaptation had been ordered out of curiosity, but it was in early 2016. When I read the book, I don't think I found it as scary, because there weren't as many parallels with the current politics in the US (and in Europe as well).

Anyway, I can't wait for episode 4.
