Peter Pan / Re: Syfy channel "Neverland" Miniseries

As you say, it's not as bad as Pan, but I found it pretty awful too. It was so far from Barrie's vision that it was risible. Oliver Twist channelling Harry Potter, and confusing plot lines which just didn't make sense. There's nothing wrong with creating a prequel, but I just wish someone would use Barrie's material (from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardensto create something more in tune with the original story of Peter Pan. It doesn't have to be over-sensational and fantastical, and please - not Peter Pan as an orphan/hero who saves the world. He's just a boy, selfish and mischievous, adventurous and daredevil, but capable of heroism and empathy.
