| The cast for the most (ignoring Crawford) part get told to play a certain role a certain way, the parts they were told to play they played them well. That in itself is a plus. You might not like the adaptation, for which I agree, but to say it's 100% utter crap like what you did, is just 100% utter bullshit, and you're not giving credit where credit should be given, to those who did the very best job they did. Which counts for about 80% of the show. Your narrow-mindedness, just like what it is for Bat3 and Meat Loaf, makes your arguments worthless.
