It’s an insult to anyone who has read the books. I’ve read all three books in the series multiple times and the liberties they have taken to develop this series rob the story of everything that makes it special. To shoe-horn in these ‘diverse’ characters makes a mockery of the entire storyline which panders to ridiculous modern sensibilities. There are glimpses of the magic from the book and some great scenes as you can imagine directly from the author, but ultimately, so far it’s been a flat production with lazy screenwriting, badly designed sets and a lack of appreciation for original source material. Sorry Bernard but this is not good.
