Ok, but not the most thrilling.

As a huge fan of John le Carré, and have enjoyed many other film/TV adaptations of his work, I couldn't wait for this one!

Unfortunately, on screen it felt particularly dull. Series like The Night Manager, and even the early TV adaptations featuring Sir Alec Guinness, this series failed to capture the mix of excitement and suspense the book provides.

Really enjoyed, characters are in depth and believable.
I know the plot of most low fantasy doesn't end up going where you think it will but I really loved this and all of the first law series + it's spin offs ( can't wait for the next series!!)
I would also recommend getting on audio book as S Pacey does a great job of bringing all the characters to life!

Music isn't really attention-grabbing.

The scripts are good in concept, but slightly underwhelming in execution

An enjoyable experience with lots of interesting ideas

Okay for YA Fantasy.

This wasn’t the best YA Fantasy series for magic and stuff but it wasn’t awful. I’ll give season two a try hoping that they have a better budget so the series gets better. It wasn’t bad, but it just wasn’t “amazing” if you’re bored I would definitely give it a Binge one weekend. There’s better out there but this wasn’t a waste of time.

This series is so good. I am a big sci-fi fan and this has all the things that are great about science fiction. I love the book series that the show is based on and the show does a fantastic job of staying as true to the books as possible. I just finished season 4 and it is amazing in the storytelling and the cast is fantastic.

A satisfying conclusion to the beloved characters that we have followed for so long. I was not disappointed... Except to say I wanted more... (0 more)

The concluding book in the epic Dark Tower series.

I never used to be a reader... And then I picked up The Gunslinger.

This completion did not disappoint and I have picked the series up again and again... And will continue to do so.
