He can't take the money with him when he is gone, but this TV series is a long-term stain on his work.
I'm at the point now that I don't want to see any more favorite books turned into movies or TV series. Occasionally something like The Martian comes along where the movie version is top notch, but too often that is not the case as with Shannara.
