I don't know what it is with this sudden trend of making a TV show of "failed" book-to-movie adaptations only to make them even WORSE than the movie adaptation but it's starting to get out of hand. First Shadowhunters, then Vampire Academy and now Fallen seems to be going down the same road too. Why can't writers just stick to the source material instead of making s**t up as they go like they did with this poor excuse of an "adaptation." I mean, I don't even know where to begin with all the problems that this show has. But it is unbelievably bad! Little to none of the plot from the first few books made it into the show at all. And none of the characters are actually recognizable as their book counterparts (in terms of both looks AND personality. The costumes and wardrobe options are abominations and some of the worst things I've seen. And on top of that, the acting is atrocious and some of the most bland, wooden and emotionless acting I've ever seen. Every part of me believes that this so called "adaptation" was made soley for profit and to line the pockets of writers and producers. And at the expense of long-time book fans at that.
