For those who claim they read the series and thought they did a good job with this I can not believe they are real reviews.
Deborah Harkness took this genre to an entirely new level, I thinking persons level. Her stories are well researched, well written and completely engaging, everything an author should be, but rarely is in this genre.
I have read the books so often I can recite parts of them from memory. The characters were strong, smart and likeable, even when being disagreeable.
This TV series contains nothing that made the books wonderful, they pretty much threw the storyline out and made another one.
None of the actors remotely resemble the characters in thought or action. Even with the time allowed for character development that a TV series gives you over a movie, they have not taken the opportunity to do it properly.
Terrible effort and shame for destroying a wonderful story.
score 1/10
