I had been looking forward to this forever as I loved the books. Based on the first episode it feels like it's veering away from the plot of the books. Lots of little changes some understandable for the sake of understanding in the medium it's being presented: Others pointless, which cheapen the rich story. The book always felt like the supernatural book for those who didn't like the emptiness of the twilight sagas etc however the series feels like it's ignoring that richness. It's only been one episode so it may improve ... here's hoping!
