Anyone plan on watching the Amazon series? I was excited at first but considering the time we live in I’m wary. I have to read the rest of the Trilogy and I found the Simillarion for 1.50. I heard the show will adapt the Simillarion. I was excited about the Wheel of Time series till I heard that the idiot director has more interest in women points than adapting the story. I’m on book 11 of that series.
So is anyone giving LOTR a chance?
Because occasionally you get something like Barry Lyndon, the Jeremy Brett Adventures of Sherlock Holmes TV series, or the George C. Scott A Christmas Carol.
Particularly Sherlock Holmes: I had been a fan of that series for years before I read the original short stories and was amazed at how much of the plot and details were specific to the show because of how seamless it all was.
Unfortunately all of these were made in a time where people actually valued the source material, instead of forcing their own viewpoints and substandard writing into them.
Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes by a mile.
Good points. I loved all the ones you mentioned. My mom was a huge murder mystery fan so I was exposed to Sherlock Holmes at a young age.
Agreed! Brett's Sherlock Holmes was divine!
