I started watching this on demand last week. It's based on the All Soul's Trilogy by Deborah Harkness and so far is pretty good and true to the book.

Anyone else? Anyone read the books?

I have seen the first few episodes but not much is ringing a bell for me! I have only read the first book. Are they including stuff from the later books?
No, it followed the books pretty closely, but they are moving stuff around to make it shorter. We met Miriam and Marcus in the first episode and Marcus doesn't even get a mention until middle of the book, for example. The series ends exactly like the first book, so a huge cliff hanger. I haven't heard yet if it is renewed, but I really liked it so hoping so!!

Ok thanks! I guess I just have spotty memory! ;-D I was afraid of book spoilers if I continued watching so now I can finish it!
