I haven't seen the miniseries bcs when I've heard about it existing & searched for it I accidentally saw the 'big baddy' - it looked like shit & nothing close to as mythical & eerie as in the books, even the physical description was all wrong & worse (there are way better artists impressions over the internet).
It instantly made me feel like they didn't capture ship, ship life, cold, or clothes well either (idk about characters), so I just preemptively decided against watching it.

It's not one of those stories that I would want to see in a play either, the environment & mystic parts just matter so much (just like the characters imho).

Also they found Terror.
