Re:Earthsea
I enjoyed watching earthsea, but one thing that seriously deflated the plot was reformulation of the priestesses as another set of “good guys”. So the wizard and the priestesses are in opposition because of a misunderstanding of how to do good??? In the book the priestesses are in the service of dark god or spirits, perform human sacrifices and are only allowed to see males that are eunichs. The young teenage priestess is already complicit in the unpleasant deaths of some prisoners sent as a sacrifice, and she almost kills ged too. The book is about being her being redeemed (or redeeming herself by helping the wizard) from a situation where she is serving evil.
I am not sure why the TV show sanitized the priestesses, maybe to be more politically correct, I am not sure. I did like the production values and the actors that they chose.
