We talked a little about this BBCA series in another thread, and I thought I'd bring it up here as I am finally catching the premiere. I'm definitely liking the show, and I get why they essentially fast forwarded through Uhtred's early years to get to the real meat of his story, his years as a warrior. My problem is that some of those things that were skimmed past were really big for his character. I know they can't stick tot he books 100%, but some things, to me, shouldn't be left out. His companionship with the smith of Bebbanburg played a huge role in his life, and removing that removes a lot of explanation for how his character acts throughout the series. His identity as a pagan Saxon.
Looking forward to episode two, this Saturday.
