I started watching as I absolutely love the books and couldn't wait to see how Will, Angie and Sara (eventually?) would play out in the flesh.
And I'll be honest - I was v disappointed initially because the choice of lead looks nothing like the Will in the books (he's not tall enough, to start with). Also, the characters of Will and Angie are completely different - Angie is very likeable and Will is a totally rounded individual who has no emotional hang ups at all.
However.... Once I accepted this, I was able to enjoy it as a light-hearted tv crime show. There's also a lot of humour which I do t recall in the books - but it works.
