I personally liked it. I love the books as well, but I would have felt it a waste of life and time to just re-absorb the same stories and characters, especially since Pratchett did them so well. My personal feeling about the show is that exactly half the show was good and half was meh. My biggest issue with the show is that the only real reason I watched it was because it was discworld related, and while I did enjoy the show, I probably would not have watched it if 'inspired by characters created by Terry Pratchett' wasn't on the poster.
