It's called an adaptation for a reason. It is a retelling of an incredible story. What would be the point of creating a show that copies previous adaptations or a page by page telling? It's supposed to be a little different because it's a story being told from different perspectives. I really don't think it was that bad, considering that there are inconsistencies and huge variations from the original story. As a viewer, this show is simply to be treated as an adapted art form, and nothing more. People are taking the changes way too seriously. The acting wasn't crazy amazing, but it gave a different perspective to a timeless story, which is what makes it worth giving it a go to watch. There's a reason it's called an adaptation, just saying. And this is coming from someone who is well educated and well versed in this topic as it is my area of study. Treat it as a stand-alone re-imagining, and maybe it has a real shot at being seen a little more positively.
