Trivia
When the group falls into the library in the Neitherlands, the librarian calls Margo "Janet" before she corrects her. This is a reference to her character's real name in the books (that was changed to reduce confusion between her, Julia and Jane).

Good show...who cares if it's like the books.

First off I'll say I haven't read the books which I think makes me more qualified to give an impartial review of the TV SHOW without all the BS references to how this wasn't like the book or that isn't like that book or whatever. This is a fun show. It has all the elements of fantasy and adventure that anyone who enjoys those types of shows will enjoy. The characters are (for the most part) well developed and the actors are doing a great job with the material. A very good entertaining watch for anyone who enjoys adventure themed shows/movies or magic.
