#cos if theyre just sticking to the books they'll have to introduce Sara soon which i cant see happening

Trailer just dropped for the TV adaptation of my favourite book series of all time (the Will Trent books by Karin Slaughter) and I think it looks maybe not good? Like I'm gonna watch it bc I'm interested how they're going to do it (ie from the trailer the first ep at least seems to based on the second book with Will in (I suppose arguably he's not a main character in the first book he's in, Triptych, but then one of the characters in the show is someone that's only in Triptych so I have no idea what we're doing timeline wise???) And I dunno Wills characterisation doesn't feel right, he feels like generic cop show man whereas in the books pretty much everyone he meets comments on how he doesnt act/look like a Fed.

IDK it's impossible for me to be objective about this because Karin Slaughter is my favourite author and Will is one of my favourite written characters, I've read all her books so many times it's never going to live up to what's in my head, but I'm gonna give it a chance.

#i hope its good! i hope its just the trailer being as generic as possible #but im not optimistic that an ABC cop show is going to be anything like i want it to be #im genuinely interested how its being paced. bc one book per ep is way too fast but i think one book per season is... optimistic #i wonder if the pilot is gonna be just Fractured then theyll spread the other books out between original cases? #cos if theyre just sticking to the books they'll have to introduce Sara soon which i cant see happening #obviously i have a lot of thoughts about this. please be good im begging #will trent #karin slaughter
