I think it's absolutely horrible, one of the worst shows on SyFy, but I keep watching for some reason. The acting is wooden and lifeless, the storylines are stupid and have no real connection to the books (which are great, by the way, much, much better than the series). It's almost as bad as what they did to Jim Butcher's Dresden Files about a decade ago.
I stopped reading the first book shortly after they left school. Got sidetracked with other stuff and need to get back to it. I'm really enjoying the show though. I wouldn't call the acting wooden and lifeless. I think you've gotten used to those hammy drama queens on CW and MTV.


EDIT: Oh, and I loved the Dresden files. The books and the series. I'll take what they did to that show over what MTV did to Elfstones any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
