Not yucking your yum, but I hated the books and came to love the show. It took them about a season to make it their own, but the author was involved and he liked it.
It was bad in the beginning. I understand your hating it. But lots of book fans came to love it. It does diverge from the books and become very much its own thing, and the showrunner proved why Supernatural fans hated her.
I’m going keep going because it does show some flashes of real “getting it” - I loved Quentin’s first spell scene, thought they did a great job on that
I hated book Quentin so much, it show Quentin has moments that explain my depression better than anything. And Elliot and Margo are wonderful and fabulous and I miss them so much. If you need to give up, I can find you the best later episodes not to miss.
See I loved book Quentin! I know there are a lot of people who don’t love book Quentin but he resonated with me. i will ask you about the episodes if I don’t finish!
So many people loved it I keep thinking well maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance but every time I try and watch more of it, it gets exponentially worse
The show had such contempt for its viewers too! The writers had a whole episode and character dedicated to shitting on the audience for watching the show.
Im willing to stick it out but im nervous and kind of hate watching at this point. Some of these character arcs are like… weirdly important to me and I’m afraid to see them not be handled well

Makes me wish TV had warnings as effective as AO3.
