@jvwalker1981 @BBCAMERICA Really the issue you are having is that it is not accurate enough to the source material for you.
This does not make it bad.. it just makes it not what you are expecting.

@RodrigoCali @CornhillGlen @jvwalker1981 @BBCAMERICA @TheWatch @AMCPlus @bbcstudios No, the problem is that fanfiction is getting published INSTEAD of the original. As long as they hold the rights, Narrativia can't make Watch stories. So not only is it not actually a good Discworld adaptation. It is actively holding other adaptations hostage.

@CornhillGlen @durhamtyler1 @jvwalker1981 @BBCAMERICA @TheWatch @AMCPlus @bbcstudios Again, the problem here are your expectations, not the product. ;)
Not everyone has the same taste or the same expectations as you do, and you shouldn't want to convince them that they should ;)

Last night in America we didn’t get to see Joshua James Richards win the @BAFTA award for best cinematography for his beautiful work for #Nomadland . He gives a touching speech and pats his hair down beforehand. @BBCAMERICA cut his speech unnecessarily.

I think the edited down version of the @BAFTA awards shown on @BBCAMERICA in the U.S. is a travesty. It’s put together for an audience who hates film awards shows. I much preferred the complete unedited BAFTA ceremony that @BBCAMERICA did air once a few years ago.

the best thing I can say about @BBCAMERICA's @TheWatch is that it got me to read Terry Pratchett's 'Guards Guards' again.
That said... I feel like the vast disappointments are things they could learn from a fix in a second season. I'd still watch. https://t.co/dBl64UbrQs

@darachos Only if they don't do to it what they've done to BBC America. I'm sure it's a BBC Worldwide rights issue, but about 5-6 years in, it went from a channel that had current BBC shows and live(ish) news to a channel that mostly runs Star Trek repeats. Wish I were kidding.

@RodrigoCali @BBCAMERICA @TheWatch @bbcstudios Apparently not, the BBC bought the IP (in a contract that was signed before PTerry died) and are blocking the use of the watch, I can’t find the evidence, by tv I feel sure I read it from a reputable source. It is the BBC that are tearing it down and ruining it, nobody else.

@_SuperGT When they brought TG to the US, BBC America heavily edited the shows down & removed the news segment. IIRC they were a series behind as well. I just torrented the full episodes when they were new anyway, but still what a shame.

Human Nature & Family of Blood are modern cl***ics Now it's 'problematic' to portray history 'accurately'
Warning labels are next, the pulling episodes down
Then it's off to the next show, film, and history.

@BenBlacker @MrSimonAllen @BBCAMERICA @ForeverDogTeam @terryandrob It's an enjoyable show, but very challenging to adapt from the books. Without a narrator character, you lose a lot of Pratchett's voice, and in an action show, exposition weighs everything down.
