Each episode it gets more and more detached from the novel. But this is not the main problem. I don't mind that some adaptations are taking another direction from the source. The main issue with this mini series, is that the main concept is just literally gone.
Instead of telling a story of an individual fighting against a dystopic society, it becomes a generic cliché of a romantic love story like any other show. John is supposed to be an intellectual human being, fond of Shakespeare, a noble savage. Instead, in this show, he is just another angry dude who falls in love with a pretty girl. Dialogs are sometimes good, and sometimes bad. there are some good moments.
I would like to emphasize again, that i don't mind the fit into the new era, and some changes are understandable. The problem is that it always looks the same. The main core of the book's atmosphere and idea is gone.
Big disappointment.
