When I started watching this series, I quickly read the original book. I became excited and expectant to see the story on the screen. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that this series only shares the title and absolutely nothing else! Don't think you know ANYTHING at all about the Verne classic after watching this. It's a totally different story in every way. Every single part of the story is different and every character is totally different. Why PBS chose to trash the classic and, instead, write an inferior story, is beyond my understanding. I suggest you read the original instead.
