If you are looking for this to mirror the book...


You will be greatly disappointed I'm sorry to say. Other than the fact that a Spanish diplomats child is stolen, and the appearance of the Duster, nothing else is at least the first 2 episodes is anything like the source material. Which is surprising because Caleb Carr was involved in production. I personally was really hoping to see how the Novel would translate to film. But it didn't. It's basically a different story. A shame seeing as the book itself was quite exciting

I thought the book sucked, so I don't mind if they made major changes.
