A miniseries is the best way to faithfully adapt any book. I don't know why everyone is so upset. Especially as the biggest flaw of the book is all the gratuitous sex, and it wasn't picked up by HBO or Showtime.

I've been meaning to read the book (as soon as I find Dad's copy, I'll get to it.) and I loved the musical, but this is doomed. There are so many red flags, I don't know where to start. It's rare that TV series based on books are any good.

What really depresses me is that they keep saying a Wicked movie based off the musical is coming and that some of the orignal cast signed up and...
Yeah I don't want to rant right now.
