I had heard that this was a bad, so I never bothered to check it out until recently. Good lord this mini-series is a travesty. Everything is wrong with this.

Here is my interpretation of the board room that greenlit this.

Question: How do you handle an adaptation of one of the most popular books by a world renowned author?

Answer: Throw out everything that made the book great and do something different.

The show managed to be rushed and really slow at the same time.

It is so incredibly bad, it is almost an achievement in how much they fucked this up. yeah the 90 miniseries was better.

I felt especially bad because my roommate had just finished reading the book as a recommendation by me, and he liked it, and we were so excited for the series, and it suuuuuuucked.

I made it about four episodes in and it just blows my mind how bad it is. You can see the parts they tried to incorporate from the book and just completely screwed up.
