Finally a good book to TV show adaption?

So here we are again VA fans. Waiting anxiously for what we hope is finally a good adaption of our most beloved book.

So, the question is... Is this it?

And my answer is, from what I've seen so far, yes.

It has completely captivated me

Sure, it's not a straight book to screen adaption, there are changes. But I think that is inevitable when it coming to making a film/TV show. But what you want to know is, does it work?

And for me, yes.

There are some pacing issues at the start, but they improve as the episodes go on. This is a very big world we're diving into, and it's a lot to digest the first episode. But each episode you sink further into the comfortability of the world, and eat it all up!

The costume and sets are just spectacular. Like seriously, wow.

Sisi and Kieron both captivated me in their portrails of our lead lovers, Rose and Dimitri. Kieron especially, I've not seen him in much before this (only that little snippet in sex education) and I was so shocked at how well he portrayed the leading man that stole all our hearts, all those years ago.

Andrew as Mason also! What a sweetie.

I look forward to seeing the completed series, I'm interested to see where the plot will go, don't want to give any spoilers away of course so I won't say anymore.
