The first season is incredible. Tennant and Sheen have an amazing chemistry together and they’re both phenomenal actors. The story is very Pratchetty if you’re familiar with his work. Second season is a bit so-so but still good, mostly because I didn’t really like the ending.
I concur, first season was incredible, one of the best series I’ve watched in the last few years. And it had a real ending + finished storyline: no aggravating cliffhangers or loose ends, no endless milking or filler episodes to uselessly extent the viewtime, just a very good finished story that never left me bored. This feels so rare these days.
I’m now watching the 2nd series and so far it’s been so so indeed. I’m not very far yet though.
Yeah the second season honestly felt a bit like a fan fict. Not bad, per se, just an excuse to keep using the characters but nothing new in terms of message.
Probably nothing to be done about that with Pratchett’s death.
yeah it was absolutely a fan fic, but tbh I’m still glad it was made! If you have the time and money to create a work of art (that isn’t meant to just be a cashgrab) flipping go for it, and Neil clearly had fun making it, and brining the shipping crowds to their knees lmao
Apparently the sequel was planned by Pratchett and Gaiman a while ago. Season two only took some elements of it, and the rest of it should be what season three is about. I trust Gaiman to make it work.
IF we get a season three. It hasn’t been renewed yet, and won’t be until after the actors strike, if it is renewed. But, Gaiman has promised that if a season three doesn’t happen on TV, he’ll write it as a book, so as to not leave everyone hanging.
I read Diggers as a lad and enjoyed it but I’ve never bothered to get into his Discworld stuff cos it seems too vast. I’ll watch the first two episodes and see if it clicks. Thank you. 👍
While there are many connections between discworld books, none of them are required reading. You can jump in anywhere. I’d recommend starting at Guards! Guards!
