I quite like this series and I'm annoyed when people compare something to the original book or comic.
Wells sold them the premise, and in this day and age, had a good lawyer. If she wanted it to be 100% faithful, she could have written that into the contract in many ways. She trusted the Weitz Brothers to some degree in some way to make a version. So she's the creator and I have not read anything saying she got screwed or conned. Has anyone else? Then take it for what it. I really enjoyed the first six episodes I saw. It's not a comic or book. It is a TV series. Judge it on its own merits.
