Never read the books, that's often a big mistake if thinking of later watching TV or film based on them. Adaptions are rarely true to books. So far I am half way through series 1 episode 1. Yes that's all. And find it slow and boring. I doubt I will watch episode 2. If you wish to watch witches (etc.,) watch a Discovery of Witches instead.

Do you have to be a genius to be a sociopath? Although none of them are geniuses, just well educated. I was expecting something like the Crystal Maze. What do we get? Psychological warfare.

Not half as good as the Gadget Show, which it seemed to replace. But the main problem is, very well paid presenters/researchers have no idea about saving money. John Bentley's comparing is a good example. Shop around and much cheaper items than his 'bargain' items can be found. But his latest one is very poor. A corded device is often always cheaper than a cordless one. Why did he not compare cordless ones, with the same level of kits?

I have read the books, watched the Chinese 30 hour adaptation of the first book. The Netflix attempt is an insult. I expect if you cross the original writer's palm with enough silver he would agree to any changes. I even have no respect for the actors who would take the cash to act in the appalling Netflix heavily changed and condensed rubbish. Just 8 hours? Get real. If you have read the book/s and/or seen the Chinese series on Youtube, stay well away from Netflix's rendition. I could only take 15 mins of it. Watch the 30 episode version on YouTube.

People don't win £10,000. Why? Because if they have already built up, let's say, £9,999, then all they really win is £1. They should win the 10 grand plus what they have already won. Also, the 'let's see what happens if you had traded for 3 tokens' is pointless, because don't they fall randomly? So any set of three would not fall the same.

Why is my name on here?

If you have never read the books, it's ok I suppose. Another story ruined by being a loose adaptation.

It's well dubbed and great to watch.
