After the author cried about how much the movie producers changed his story for those 2 film adaptations, this series seems like a feeble attempt to stick to the original. There are so many short cuts taken its ridiculous. So many details that would have played out wonderfully onscreen are simply glossed over or not brought up at all. Why does Hollywood always have to change a great book? Is it an ego thing? Do they think we're too stupid to follow the story of the original version? Anyway, I was really looking forward to this and now I'm sorely disappointed. ๐
