Might have to give this a look. Back in the day, there was a film and a TV series adapted from the books, which were highly entertaining (albeit requiring the viewer to be ok with a man putting his arm shoulder-deep into a cow’s v’jay). Hopefully these are similarly well done.
As an aside, I went to school with Sam West who plays Siegfried Farnon. He’s the son of Timothy West - an actor know mostly for TV commercials - and Prunela Scales - known widely for playing Sybil Fawlty.
I just watched season 1 over the last couple days or so. Loved it. Can’t wait for season 2. I was really just expecting a goofy fish out water story (which could have been funny in its own right), but it was much more than that.
Yeah, the character depth. They are not just cardboard cutouts to make funnies. You really get to know and care for these people over ten 30 minute episodes.
