It's been a really long time since I read the books, but I feel like perhaps they have not condensed enough. The books were really good about drawing out the mystery and suspense and creating this unique world. And the character development kept you reading when perhaps the action was lacking. I'm not getting that here.
I'm wondering if a flashback mechanism would have worked better from the start.
Agree, I read the books and was drawn in. This just seems like everyone dies, one by one.
PP here - the last episode was better, but still. They have to pick it up here. One thing it does have going for it is that I want to read the books again!
Maybe it will all tie together but they have introduced a dizzying array of characters and it's hard to keep up. And as you noted, they keep killing them off without much forward movement in the plot. Evil Judicial is not enough.
