I fell in love with this series and the world that Harkness created. I've listened to the whole series before and just re-listened to the first book and thought I would try the TV adaptation. It was terrible. I didn't get beyond the first episode. The writing of the script cannot hold a candle to the actual writing of the author.

There was no chemistry between Matthew and Diana on screen. The character of Marcus has been completely rewritten and seemingly combined with Jack in modern day? It wasn't just minor cosmetic differences in my opinion.

The characters are fundamentally different in their depiction. The idea of Diana telling another witch that she can't control her magic in front of humans is laughable. There are a bunch of moments like this that are just the exact opposite of what the character would do in the books that to me it wasn't worth even trying to get into the show, I'll just read the books again.
