Mariafrancesca (30 KP) rated A Discovery of Witches - Season 1 in TV
Mar 31, 2019
Say what you want but a girl needs her share of brooding vampires and this shows provides just that. I knew the book but I wasn’t very keen to continue the series as I didn’t like reading from her POV, but I always loved the mythology the author built and a TV series is perfect for me.
The locations are amazing (even though I’ve never seen Venice so empty xD) and the story is compelling. Can’t wait for the second season!

Forced Doctor Connection
Surprisingly Amazing
I was pleasantly surprised finding that I actually really enjoyed this series. As someone who enjoyed the previous spin offs from Doctor Who I found that I actually almost liked this better than even Torchwood. It was clear to mehowever that theconnection to Doctor Who seemed a little forced and almost unnecessary as the series could easily have stood on it's own as a really good TV show.

Great for those who haven't read the book recently
I was super excited about this TV series having recently read the book. It started off very strong but I've found as the series progressed it left the story line of the book behind in various parts. I have also struggled with the lack of tangible chemistry between the main characters.
I think those viewers that haven't read the book will enjoy it much more because it isn't having to measure up against anything.

Big screen remake of an old 60s TV series, that was actually better than I was expecting!
Starring Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Terence Stamsp (with support from the likes of Terry Crews, and a cameo from Bill Murray), this was more deadpan than I (vaguely) remember (I wasn't around in the 60s, and only caught a few episodes on repeat), although I did pick up on a few of the call backs in the movie to said series.

An omnibus collection of 3 Buffy stories, set at different times during the course of the TV series. Having said that, in all 3 of these stories, Buffy is still at Sunnydale High ...
The first of these has by far the earliest setting, with mention of The Master (the villain in the very first series): I think this was written sometime during series 2. The second novel includes Spike and Drusilla and Jenny Calendar, while the third has mention of The Magic Box but is before that had a larger role in the series.
None of the three stories were that great or were that well written, unfortunatley: I got the distinct impression they were aimed at American teenagers more than anything else!

Sep 3, 2023 (Updated Sep 3, 2023)
There was 13 novels in the full Bernard Cornwell series of the same name.
5 TV series.
Each adopting roughly 2 novels.
So that meant there was 3 left unadapted when said series was cancelled ('The Flame Bearer', 'Sword of Kings' and 'War Lord'), with Netflix instead developing a movie instead of series to finish off the story.
Which, I have to say, does feel a bit rushed, with some noticeable absences (not even mentioned in passing) and, whilst watching, and with what seems a rushed finale.
I also have to say that Uhtred, here, still looks a lot younger than he was portrayed in the novels (especially by this point) and I don't remember *that* ending happening, either!
