I wanted to like it. I’m open to changes in adaptation because I honestly didn’t always enjoy reading the novels. And I am not one of those people to complain about “wokeness” in the slightest.

I just hated the show. Even on its own for what it is trying to be, it’s a mess. I guess there are some good special effects? There are also a lot of average and bad ones. It’s the lack of any self-propelling plot that kills it for me. Every step forward in the story is totally forced and uninteresting. No one should subscribe to Apple TV to get this show.
