I guess I’d caveat that I’ve never really enjoyed any of the TV adaptations, but they keep making them, so someone must be enjoying them!
The Long Earth series is brilliant, I really enjoyed it. It doesn’t feel very Pratchetty but it scratches an alternate universe sci fi itch in a very satisfying way.
I'm with you I can never get away with the adaptations. I think they just feel kind of empty because his books were always like he was personally there telling you the story and making side jokes, so without that extra presence it's just weird.
