From the book version, I noticed that a lot of it was a transposed SF convention. Fair enough.
Told differently, with everything centering on a social gathering, whereas the book had it as several separate conversations. I'd say that was intelligent, but it clearly offends some people who treat the books like Holy Writ.
I'm looking forward to the remaining three episodes - likely to be much more like the book. I won't say more, naturally.
The whole series seems OK to me. Some very good special effects. Too many characters for my liking, but that is how the story was told. It also goes for good television - being too literal would not suit anyone except those who see it as Holy Writ.
