Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am not sure why or how people are giving one star reviews based on a DVD and NOT based on the ACTUAL SHOW!! As a fan of the novels (I have read these books more than once) I can say this show is great! I was so excited when it released in the USA. I have to say that it follows the books fairly well. There are always things missing, always things astray when book to film adaptations. The only thing I did not agree with was the casting of Ysabeau de Clermont. And that is NOT to say that I don't LOVE Lindsey Duncan. She certainly fits the fierceness of Ysabeau. It's just she is the absolute physical opposite of the characterization found in the books. She is supposed to be young and have dark black hair. Her physical appearance was shown as more of a sibling than a mother. I was just thrown off by it! Besides that the show is great so far. I will be watching it on repeat for a while, and cannot wait for season 2!
