The Colour Of Magic

"The Colour of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic" together have been made into a 2-episode miniseries.

Not bad, but not exactly enjoyable. The jokes didn't work.

Though they were as faithful as possible in a two-episode timespan, they had to leave a lot out and many scenes seemed rushed; fast little scenes, not really merging into one story. Beads on a necklace.

The actors weren't particularly good. Death's mask (exactly the same as in other film-renderings of Pratchett books) keeps irritating me slightly. The decors were exactly as you expect, nothing fancy, nothing special.

Meh.
