alistair n Diabolical. The plot, the characters, the whole look of the thing have been ripped apart.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Gareth v Disappointing. The show desperately wants to be some sort of radical post-punk fantasy genre, but play's it way too safe to get near their intentions. A few funny gags here and there, and Dormer's performance in the lead are about the only positive takes in this production.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the costume design alone was enough to make this show unbearable. But what really got me was the fact that the only thing that made the characters close to the book characters, was their names. I was shocked by the absence of structure and plot given to the WoT series, but, this one couldn't even get me through the first scene without canceling my subscription to amc immediately and opening up a rotten Tomatoes account to flame this show to the best of my ability. The Watch is absolutely NOT The Night Watch. It is not Sam Vines on Screen. And more importantly this doesn't even feel like Discworld. Attempting a cyberpunk vibe in a world where the development of technology was impaired by the easy and free use of magic is as ridiculous as a motorcycle riding velociraptor. What makes it all worse is that somehow Hollywood is able to create a believable Dune movie with Batista and Zendeya in it, yet, the director of this flaming pile of excrement couldn't get this remotely entertaining with truly talented actors. And why does the Sam move around like he has Tourette Syndrome? Sorry not sorry, A true Terry Pratchett sweat Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member After seeing good Discworld TV productions like Hogfather, The Colour of Magic and Going Postal I actually thought that BBC would be able to make something at least as good ... This is utter crap ... Discworld in some weird punk style. Characters not even trying to be the characters we love from the books, and that's not even getting into the whole gender swap mess. If you are a fan of the books watch the old TV movies I mentioned above and give this garbage a pass. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
