First, this is a high quality production and the scenery is beaitiful. Even the actors are very good. The problem is with the story. The writers failed miserably in adapting the book.
After awhile, you begin to realize that they are rushing through the story line way too fast, missing details and cutting much of the essential sub plots and story lines that would have made this a truly great series. Six episodes was not enough to do justice to the book.
The big picture of who the Weerters are and the various factions within in them is missing. The story looses context. Yet, for all those failings, it is still an interesting story about a young man who has inherited the biggest fortune in history and the prophecy future he is asked to change.
The way the series ends leads to the possibilty that they might make a second series. I hope they do and use that opportunity to tell the part of the story from the book they left out. Hopefully they will use better writers. Anyway, buy the book this is based on and get the whole story. It's worth it.
