This series really misses out on the chance to recreate some amazing people that appear in Jeffrey Deavers Lincoln Rhyme. I have no problem with changing the race of the characters but I think you need to keep it consistent If Rhyme is black I think Sachs should be black also not that there is anything wrong with interracial couples but that nowhere this story lies.
None of the characters in the tv series have the little quirks that make them so compelling. Sachs has no arthritis,no Mustang that she loves to drive fast,red hair and she does not seem to falling for Rhyme the way it is in the books.
And don't get me started on what they have done to poor Tom. The carekeeper they have in the series is interesting and I like her but if you are representing someone's writings don't you have an obligation to keep the people consistent with the way they are in the books. Tom from the books is one of the more interesting characters in the book and I would like to have seen him in the series.
I think they have done a good job in capturing Rhymes personality,the actor does an amazing job capturing his disregard for people's feeling and over all misanthrope.
Maybe going forward they will add some more depth to the characters and give Sachs the amazing personality she displays in the novels.
