Part 3/11:
When the series was released, reception was mixed at best. While some critics found the first 15-20 minutes of the pilot somewhat tolerable, the appearance of Faye—particularly her portrayal—was met with widespread disappointment.

Others pointed out that many of the changes seemed unnecessary and that the adaptation struggled to capture the essence of the original show.
