JS&MN was a UK series, so would probably be considered a mini-series if made in the US! I think they had a pretty good go at it and certainly some of the casting was excellent (the guy playing Childermass was exactly as I'd pictured him and when I re-read the book I'll probably have his face in mind when he's about) but it's a very difficult, very dense book with lots of footnotes and of course that couldn't be recreated. For me, the footnotes give that book the whole period feel it's supposed to have and there's no way around it.

I wonder whether shows have a tendency to want to cast younger if the character concerned is meant to be a love interest? Or they can go the other way and do Hollywood-teenager, where everyone knows that the supposed high school student is actually in their mid-20's, hence the perfect teeth and skin.
