As a book adaptation, the series keeps the character names and main features as well as the very general plot outline. Series got rid of the humour, postmodern distancing from the genre and any originality. Instead, we got an original series with the writers' ideas that are on par with GoT season 8. It's like watching a grim version of Xena. The generic plot, nonsense twists and chaotic character development all make up a mediocre series overall.
