I don't know why I've subjected myself to it, but I've been watching the second series of the Shannara Chronicles on Netflix and jesus Christ is it an abortion. I really liked the books (not the first one which is almost a scene for scene copy of LotR, but the next ones are good generic fantasy fun) so I really wanted the show to at least be alright, but it's just so fucking awful.
The acting is terrible, the plot is all over the place and they don't remotely stick to even the fucking time frame of the books. They've crowbarred characters from hundreds of years later into the series, changed everything about them except their name and then given them shitty storylines that make no sense. Honestly, I've no idea how Terry Brooks agreed to this or why anyone thought this tween sack of shite would be popular. I have to assume Terry has an expensive coke problem and needed the scratch.
