I'm not happy. Not because the TV series has moved away from the books but that they are so formulaic. Sometimes to the point of parody.

Series 1 was just about okay but S2 was awful.

I've cancelled my subscription to Apple+ most of it is just American TV formula except Slow Horses and that alone is not worth the money

It seems to me that the author of this article is reading too much into Skeleton Crew. It's very much a children's telly series based on Treasure Island using the Star Wars canon. As such it wasn't bad but then Disney has lots of form with children's films, it's films for grown-ups it struggles with.

I enjoyed the first two episodes. That said, I do feel that they were too American, they should be more international and not just American cliches. But I thought the child actors did well for all that.

I liked the twist on Treasure Island, very good.

I thought the first two episodes were very good indeed, up there with the best of Star Wars. The third episode was (and is) a great disappointment, but I do notice that it had a different director and different screen writers to the first two. I shall see what the fourth episode is like tomorrow
