I had heard that this was a bad, so I never bothered to check it out until recently. Good lord this mini-series is a travesty. Everything is wrong with this.

Here is my interpretation of the board room that greenlit this.

Question: How do you handle an adaptation of one of the most popular books by a world renowned author?

Answer: Throw out everything that made the book great and do something different.

The show managed to be rushed and really slow at the same time.

    Is it me or is it weird that the power lines have slack (hang down in a U shape) despite holding up the broken pole?

    Why is the pole levitating in the air when it’s broken and should hang by the overhead lines.

    This annoys me more than it should.

      They are going for a religious symbol.

      That poster is a perfect metaphor/symbolism of how shitty the mini-series is.

      Parker Lewis, Molly Ringwald, Gary Sinese, Rob Lowe, and Dauber from Coach!

      I’ve seen that miniseries way too many times.
