Alright bro. Thank you

I don't expect them to make the characters different, if they do however, it won't surprise me. I haven't read House of the Dragons books, but I'm very sure Rhaenyrea isn't bisexual and yet the show made it so.
HBO does not prioritise inclusiveness as much as Disney, but they do it nonetheless.

they do because it is 'necessary' to them but it never affects the actual canon of the show. Harry being gay definitely does

Your self proclaimed hyper fanaticism with the Harry Potter lore has probably blinded you from discerning your fantasies from logic, ever since this show was announced, to a damn near annoying condescending level tbh.

It's not like you have the screenwriter on speed dial or have a PhD in scriptwriting...you are just in the dark, as we all are, concerning what they are gonna do with the characters. It's not like they haven't changed traits of major characters in adaptations before and considering the times we are in, all bets are off the table.

You have such a high hopes for the prod team, when one of the writers openly claimed, he wasn't arsed to read the books!

Not saying you shouldn't be bubbly about one of your favourite franchises as you claim, but still open your eyes to logic and the signs of the times.

Hey, fair points—but let’s slow the roll a bit 😅. My optimism isn't blind fanaticism, it's based on patterns and actual industry trends. Sure, I don’t have the screenwriter on speed dial (would be nice though lol), but I do follow how reboots are usually handled—especially ones that are this high-profile.

This isn't a "loosely based" adaptation or a soft reboot—it's a book-faithful series. That's the core selling point HBO and Warner Bros have been hammering from the start. They know the fanbase would riot if core character traits of Harry, Hermione, or Ron were fundamentally changed.

Of course changes can happen—and yeah, they have in past adaptations. But the idea that they’d completely reinvent the main trio just for shock value goes against everything they've said. If we were dealing with a Netflix young adult reimagining, sure, I'd be worried too. But this is HBO. Prestige TV. They thrive on deep, layered adaptations that stay true to source while expanding the world tastefully.

Also, one writer not reading the books? That’s annoying, but that’s one person on a massive team. The showrunner and executive producers have the final say—and if they’re backing fidelity to the source, then that matters more than a staff writer.

Bottom line: I’m not saying everyone has to be optimistic, but it’s wild to call it “dumb” to expect professionalism from a studio that’s known for setting high bars. Being hopeful about a beloved series getting proper treatment isn’t blind—it’s just not jaded.

It would have been a banger had it been a TV show.

Just too good

Common Side Effects" S1 (2025)

"You're a medicine salesman , cure everybody, and you're out of business!"

In times like these, when it's rare to find shows that reach beyond the surface and tap into something deeper than life itself, I stumbled upon this rare gem.

A hipster discovers some rare mushrooms with seemingly miraculous healing abilities, capable of curing every disease known to man. His mission? To share it freely with the world. But of course, not without consequences...

It was such an easy binge, one that left me yearning for more. The show throws up a host of moral dilemmas that made it hard to take a firm stance. On one hand, discovering a universal cure might be the noblest act since the evolution of our species. But on the other hand, the chaos it could unleash in our already hyper-capitalist world is unimaginable. Big Pharma would likely seize control, pricing it beyond the reach of the downtrodden , literally weaponizing life itself.

Struggle, mortality, and vulnerability are part of what shapes the human condition. Removing all suffering could flatten our experience entirely. Would people still be motivated to live healthy lifestyles if they knew a miracle cure existed? While it seems like an incredible solution on the surface, it could break the very fabric of biology, society, and ethics.

I love shows like this, ones that make me think. And to think, I had it sitting on my device for months.

An easy, easy recommendation.

Top shelf show, tbh.
8/10

Make dem kpai person... everywhere just Choked!!!

Done with Season 1. Can't really say it's that bad, but wasn't thrilled as I thought I would.
