The Watch Episodes 1 and 2 Review
This The Watch review contains spoilers.
The Watch Episodes 1 and 2
Anyone who has read science fiction and fantasy novels in the last 40 years has at least heard of Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld,” and it’s with some trepidation and cautious optimism that fans of the books have anticipated the new BBC adaptation, The Watch, which focuses on some of the best-loved characters from the 41-book series. What readers should know is that the series is very much an adaptation, and while there are plenty of moments that are true to the originals, and add details from various books, don’t go in expecting something as faithful as Bridgerton. In fact, don’t even go in expecting something as faithful as Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings.
The Watch isn’t the books—it’s becoming its own thing, and it may end up being more fun because of that.
