I love the Discworld books but I was so disappointed in this show I had to turn it off halfway through. The casting is terrible and for the life of me I can’t figure out why producers and writers want to change things all the time. There is a REASON why the books are so beloved. When you change the characters, you miss the sense of humor that Terry Prachett put into them. Vimes character was played too over the top, Cherry Littlebottom loses all humor when you cast her as an average size human without a beard. The whole reason why her character is funny is because she is a DWARF with long beard who is now wearing chain link mini skirts and lipstick! Im not sure what they are trying to do with Lady Ramkin and why in the world would you show Ventinari’s picture as a man only to cast a woman to play the part?! It feels too forced and in the effort to be “all inclusive” they have missed the entire feel of the books that made them so beloved in the first place. I’m so disappointed.
