A complete bastardisation and butchering of a truly remarkable fantasy epic. The stoic, powerful woman are reduced to schoolyard bickering. The male characters only whine and complain without any substance. The story, which is dark enough, is being mishandled by incompetents who believe themselves superior to the author. The defensive argument that the story would not work in a different medium doesn't really hold up here. Because it hasn't been tried. This story has so thoroughly deviated from the books that it is a different story with similar names. It is a poor and pathetic knockoff. It reminds me of those low budget shows that fill the airwaves. A bunch of people standing about having emotional outbursts for stupid reasons while ignoring the truly enormous emotionally impactful moments. I had high hopes for this one, The reviews seemed good. And yet here i am miserably disappointed. At least i shall always have the books.
