A relatively accurate adaptation of the source material with intelligent liberties taken in the changes made. As an enthusiast of the novel series, I would prefer to have the more philosophical and conversational pieces between characters have a slightly longer stay. The continuous world building, while posing elements of mystery, with the episodic pace of the anthology of short stories was welcoming and led to each episode having it's own identity. Overall, excellent work my the leads, especially Henry, Joey, and Anya. Some the best sword fighting to date, horrific creatures, memorable individuals, and a contentious world full of hatred, xenophobia, sexism, and abuse of power. True to its roots. Excited for the second season!
