For me it's definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

They very much lampshade that with the whole outliers thing. Events spin off in wildly different directions.

If you want a direct translation of the books, no dice, but damn the shit they've pulled out of whole cloth with the Cleons is amazeballs.

The Cleons is literally the only reason I continue to watch the show.
