Review of World Without End

I really like World Without End, it's a good series with fair acting and there is a depth in the details that I do enjoy in period pieces.

With that said I did not know this was a sequel to Pillars of the Earth, which I did enjoy, and I had not read either book. While watching, I didn't make the connection right away that these two series were linked. As I was watching it I became suspicious that I was watching a remake of something I had previously watched, I didn't know right away what it was.

Knowing that this is a sequel, one can expect some amount of plot and character types being recycled, but this series does it a lot. I haven't read the book, but from what I've gathered about them, the series alters from the source a lot and seems to have infringed on the previous series.

I can't go over every detail of the two series, to do so I'd have to re-watch them both side by side, but the one reason which for me linked the two series is the main male protagonist characters both leave to study abroad while their loved one is trapped in some commitment, and then there's the brothers that for the most part are misunderstood or suffering from some issue.

Again, I do like it though, but it's more of a remake than something fresh and new in my mind.
