I loved the book. It was really good. I can't remember the exact details, but the concept, rough plot etc is still there.
So was watching this with half an expectation that it would be terrible, as so many book to tv shows are (rings of power, i'm looking at you).
But, apart from the stainless steel bus not having the foot thick coating of whatever it was (I forget the exact details), the feel of this has so far been spot on. Its definitely not the same as the book, but it is not doing it a disservice. Far more mundane that the book vision, and 'london' is nothing like the world I have in my head, but OK none the less.
The actors involved manage to pull off the roles well, with only a couple of the 'londoners' being a little out of their depth.
Let's hope it keeps on the same trajectory.
