I was going to say everyone is grumbling for no reason, just because it's not like the book. But then towards the latter half the poor acting really started to grate - and unfortunately it was Jack Gleeson from Game of Thrones not even the kids. Add that to some absolutely risible scenes during one of the kids' escapes (that's not a spoiler famous five are always escaping something). Plus the terrible stilted scenes when the parents are busy not listening to the kids (again not really a spoiler - it always happens). So 5 from me not because it isn't Blyton or because its revisionist, but because in places its really very bad.
