I've read the books by Alexander McCall Smith for years so I went into this show excited but cautious. 30 minutes into the first episode, I've been bored, fast forwarded, then been annoyed. B.K. is a character that doesn't exist at all in the books and I find his presence annoying. (He himself is charming but an unnecessary addition to the story.)
So much of the book's charm is between the two ladies of the detective agency, which is interrupted by a character McCall never created. I understand the show can't be 100% like the books, and understand when people or things are omitted. I hate it when show writers create new material and characters out of no where.
