Series Better than I thought it would be

My friend introduced me to the comic several months before it got a TV series, but I didn’t get around to reading it until earlier this year. I thought the comic was good and that the hype it got was deserved.

Pros:

- They kept the story mostly the same.

- Good casting; most of the actors resemble their book counterparts.

- The humour is great at times.

- They put more focus on some of the storylines.

Cons:

- The acting - Dear god, what were they thinking?! At least try to not sound like you’re being bored to tears!

- Aled has stopped existing.

- And let’s not even get into the whole “queerbaiting” incident.

Overall, it’s quite good. It's in no way terrible, but there was some wasted potential.

EDIT: I’ve sort of changed my mind about the series. I’m starting to like it more now that I’ve actually seen it.

I liked it, but as with most adaptations the comic is better
