Okay, so episode one is live.
It's the most faithful major adaption yet. That said, it still does make some kinda pointless changes to certain scenes from the book, like the first time the heat ray is used; it's well directed, but conceptually the way its done feels a bit gimmicky. Still, it comes closer than either Hollywood adaption.
I really liked Eleanor Tomlinson as the female lead. Acting in general was good, no cheesy or poor performances.
It's a bit hard to judge based on the first episode alone as its mostly focused on establishing the setup. Parts two and three will make or break it.
