I agree.

Another TV show that is doing very well, but with far better quality source material, is The Handmaid's Tale. I am an enormous fan of the book, and the series has been very faithful to it while also extending and updating the story.

I'm a touch surprised that development hasn't begun on a Harry Potter TV series. (Is Rowling against it?) It would obviously be wildly popular if decently done, and it could avoid the huge omissions that marred the later movies.
