You can tell that everyone really is trying. Just give me the impression that there's a Machiavellian mind that's twelve steps ahead of everyone else working its magic behind the scenes, and I'll be happy.īut here is where it really stings.

Same goes for each and every character from Angua to Detritus to Carrot to good old Dog botherer. Sam Vines is not Sam Vimes, it's true."That's not my cow." At least not after the first episode.

I didn't expect it to be a love letter to Pratchett or fan service, but I did expect the characters to still at least have the same core that made them such treasures to read. I think someone somewhere decided that they would cash in on one of Pratchett's most fleshed out segments of the novels, the city watch, in name and name alone, and totally missed the mark. One of the things I keep hearing about this show is that it is not a direct interpretation of Sir Terry's phenomenal discworld, but it is inspired by it.
