@GailCBull Ahh! I just remembered another.

The #HisDarkMaterials TV adaptation from the novel series of the same name by #PhilipPullman.

Another live-action adaptation wherein they did not overdo yet at the same time was not lacking.

They picked the important parts, plots, and little tidbits, and focused on the message and essence of the story.

They did not fall into the "Hollywood" formula wherein it's all about "entertainment", like what happened with the first live-action adaptation of the novel " entitled #TheGoldenCompass (a #movie.

I understand it is not easy to do an adaptation of written works, most especially a novel. After all, there are a lot of details an author can put in a novel that simply is not possible to fit in a 2-hour movie or a 12-episode season. I have no qualms about it; however, adapting a work and focusing on the entertainment value instead of the essence and message of the story, is a big no-no for me.

This is what the His Dark Materials TV adaptation did right as compared to The Golden Compass movie.
