This show suffers greatly from the problem that has afflicted every attempt at an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's work to date; Everyone in it is trying to be 'funny'. One of the first rules of good comedy acting is that the people involved should play it straight and allow the comedy to come from the dialogue and situations. For some reason, British actors and directors throw this maxim out of the window when it comes to Pratchett, and instead what we get is a bunch of - for the most part - high quality film and TV stars mugging it up shamefully and trying to be as zany and 'British' as they can possibly be. Honestly, it's embarrassing and quite painful to watch at times.
