Surprisingly Well-done Dark Fantasy/Mystery
Was able to watch the series early; gotta say I was surprised with how much I liked it in the end. Had to keep an open mind going in with how things are obviously different from the books, and I felt it was the right call with how some of them played out with the vision the show is intending. There's still the core material that is always the underlying plot/theme it is just now shaped (rather well I might add) more as a thrilling, dark mystery. Great performances as well, regardless of how I originally pictured because of the books. Will say, if you've come looking for a word-for-word re-telling of the book, then sorry, as it's more like the story is severely inspired by the books with some source material hinted at every now and again (still prominent overall)! THE CHEMISTRY THOUGH!! I think it's going to be underrated, as it's still a rather hidden gem of a good modern dark fantasy/mystery/romance.
