I recently watched The Letter for the King on Netflix, and thought I'd offer a small thought on the series.
I should preface all of this by stating that I have never read the book. I had actually never heard of the book. I looked up the book later on Wikipedia, after watching the first episode. I might actually read the book.
That out of the way, let me list some positives of the series. The child actors are great. I can't say the same about whoever it was playing the puppy-kicking prince, but the others made great performances. The visual effects were great. The costumes and props and sets were great. A lot of people clearly put a lot of effort and thought and care into the series. It shows through.
But some other people didn't put any effort in. Namely, the writers. The writers did not care. That also shows through.
