Well ain't that precious?

I mostly liked the show. The last season was kinda meh, iirc, but at least it got an ending.

I thought the books were edgier or something.

Edit: Also that Quentin is insufferable in them, but that's probably the result of being inside the character's head.

I liked how the show had an entire episode trying to convince its watchers that Quentin was NOT the main character despite him the being the one that usually drove the main plot forward, and the character that tied all the other characters together. This was done right before the character was killed off in the season finale for the penultimate season..

Also, the book was terrible because instead of showing how magic isn't going to solve all your problems, it just showed that being an hedonistic rear end in a top hat will ultimately just make your life miserable. The only character that wasn't a complete rear end in a top hat was Penny.
