I love this show. I've read the books and found that Diana to be a bit worrisome and weary. But the TV Diana is strong and willful and shows none of the weak-in-the-knees drivel that the book had. I also love that the TV Matthew is more stable - not prone to outrageous anger or jealousy. This is so much better than the books. I'm hoping they keep the strong couple for the coming season. I did find some parts of the TV show hard to follow at first. Knowing the characters from the book helped but I also feel it kept the show moving at a quicker pace and I enjoyed that. Great show that sucks you in and leaves you wanting more with every episode.
