As a big fan of the books, I was incredibly psyched to see that they're making a TV series adaptation of it. I know that when books become a film/series, people would usually complain and they have the right to do so. So I lowered my expectations and from what I've gathered so far, its actually really good and watchable without the cringe factor.
All I can say is that, this series do lack the darkness and mystery found in the Harry Potter movies or Narnia. Rather at times had that horrible Vampire Academy/Twilight feel to it (film set, cliché stereotyping of the extras, changing it to a university now??). All I can say is that Jason Ralph is doing the series justice, hats off to the casting director.
Please please please, don't ruin this series. Great potential in the script, great characters and one of the most intriguing plot lines. All this series needs is that English magical world vibe rather than generic. I had low hopes for the series, but I was clearly wrong and that cliff hanger really stepped my expectations up a few notches.
Wishing this series the best & a side note to Lev Grossman, don't let them ruin your world. Fillory depends on you!
