Kevin's Watch

Been waiting 20 years or so for this, and have mixed feelings so far. Good cast and whatnot, but I wish they hadn't modernized it so much.

Watched it over the weekend.

Enjoyed it mostly. Since Gaiman did the writing for it himself, I felt it stayed mostly true to the book. And in an interview he said he enjoyed being able to put in a few things that hadn't made it into the book as well.

Didn't feel the modernisation was too blatant, but was not a fan of Anathema being a) American, and b) rich.

Didn't think the Horsemen were done all that well though.

I watched the first episode recently, and dug it. I really liked the book when I read it, but kinda lost the thread of the story toward the end, which I tend to do with both Prachett and Gaiman books in general. So I'm looking forward to finally understanding how this sucker ends, because I now have no memory of it.

I absolutely loved it. I would agree with Av on the horsemen, they were one of my least fave parts of the series.

I thought the prediction about the apple you can't eat and reference to Steve Jobs was funny
