Featured review
A faithful adaptation, that's a rare thing!
I was a huge fan of these novels growing up, Point Blanc being one of the best of them. This is such a good adaptation I was blown away, from the trailer and lack of marketing I figured it would be some cheap attempt but this show is SO well done. Not only is it technically well made, with every shot looking slicker than the last, but it also sticks really closely to the original novel it's based on, while managing to flesh out areas where needed. I think the writers decision to skip Stormbreaker was probably a good one after that awful film, but I really hope this gets picked up for many future seasons. Fans of the books will definitely enjoy the name drop towards the end of the show that makes it clear they want to make this a long running success and I hope it is!
Oh and also, Otto Farrant, perfect casting. The closest I've ever had to the image I've had in my head when reading a book actually coming to the screen, he nailed it.
