I'm actually a little angry. These books were so good. So interesting! Ms. Harness made vampires cool again. And witches and demons. And someone saw a money maker and decided to ruin the story by shoveling all those precious details into mere minutes of the first episode. I hate bashing any specific person but WHY do these producers always insist on a pretty face rather than a good solid actress?? I swear! A big rack and a pretty face but can't deliver a simple line without me wanting to cut my OWN wrists is so annoying. Theresa Palmer has no personality whatsoever and no one can convince me that she's ever done more than a high school play. My 11 year old niece puts more effort into her lines!!! And she's supposed to be BRILLIANT??? At What??? Poor Matthew Goode. He's so easy and slides right into this role so beautifully. Perfect casting. But he's so brilliant that he couldn't possibly find her attractive she's playing this role like a bimbo. Glazed over and her voice is so flat for every line. I'm sure he is just thrilled w her. The rest of the show could've been saved if not for Theresa Palmer's ridiculous casting/acting and the pace. Oh and the glossed over story line.

I guess I would've liked it if they just had Matthew Goode stand around in a castle. I could've figured out the story better for myself.
