Is there anything worse than a series of novels you enjoyed as a teen being turned into a really shit tv show?
It’s like a train wreck, I don’t want to look but I can’t help take in the horror…😬

What's the novel series?

@NativePortlander1970 Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord series novels had been made for tv: the Winter King. They’ve changed the characters, the timeline, the casting is wrong and the story isn’t as punchy and gritty as the novels. I’m quietly furious.

@WintaTheAngle Thank you! I loved that series. So you saved me from being disappointed yet again!

@blackarcher256 Yes absolutely please don’t watch it. Those books in my opinion are his best work. And being English I was looking forward to seeing the Saxon raiders. But it is a terrible portrayal of the story.
