I read most of the books, The Watch books are my fav, and I can tell you that this differs from the books a lot.
And it's fkn AWESOME! :D
10/10
As someone who has read the books, and love them deeply, watching this made me want to scream and gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon.
Saying this is inspired by Pratchett's books is like saying The Twilight saga is inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Never read the books so I'm not bothered by the supposed changes. I REALLY liked this premiere. Looking forward to the rest.
