My final opinion: a score of 8/10 Also the intro is surprisingly outstanding and the acting. The music is straight out of a mexican telenovela. The plot ends up being almost secondary before the monstrous problem that is the psychology of its characters. The novel is known as The Possessed, The Devils, Devils, and Demons. What gives the novel its chaotic nature is that character development surpasses the plot. There's so many stories to tell, that the sheer idea of dealing with it on television would give writers nightmares for decades. Going back and forth in time every turn of page. And the narrator has no real place in the story whatsoever, he's just there to fulfill a "political agenda", we could say to give us full background on how despicable the characters really are. The thing about "Demons" is that most of the social commentary is conveyed within the narrator's perspective. But it's hard to make more out of it given the format and the resources. One night when Dostoevsky was out, Grigorovich borrowed the manuscript of Dostoevsky’s first novel, Poor Folk, to show to the poet Nikolay Nekrasov. A straightforward downgrade, no doubt about it. Dostoevsky roomed with a friend from the engineering academy, the writer Dmitri Grigorovich, who had developed good connections with literary Petersburg. It's exactly how I pictured it to be: Just a thriller.
