Conan, you can get past it. The series was never intended to replace the book - just BASED on it. You just have to assume that for any book or movie.

There were things I liked about the series and yes, a lot I didn't like. Seems to me some of that imaging was based on the Hunger Games (I have not seen the movie; only bits and pieces), which is a shame. What I REALLY liked though is what kept me watching: The actors who played Allanon and Cephalo were quite outstanding, IMHO. Many of the images were also great. I'm just glad I was able to download this because I certainly won't be buying DVDs of it - just not going to be a go-to for me.. The last 2 episodes were pretty good as well and I like that they wrapped up the book while still setting up for another season.
