What Do You Think About TMI TV Show on ABC family?

I was originally excited at first too, and I still am don't get me wrong, but I'm still worried that they will get it wrong. Pretty Little Liars is an excellent show that has hooked so many people and that gives me a little hope because it's a book to tv show adaptation. That's the thing though, it's only an adaptation. ABC Family has changed SO much from Sara Shepard's original works. Almost everyone in the case of that show is okay with it though. It works for PLL. I, however do not believe it will for TMI. We are such a devoted fandom and after the bomb of a movie it will be terribly sad to be disappointed again.

Here’s my take on the show so far, though granted we don’t know much yet:
Th most important thing for me is that they keep to the spirit of the book and don’t actively try to make plot changes. That being said, here’s my pros and cons list (cuz nobody likes reading giant paragraphs).

Pros:
~Casting is on point. Dominic Sherwood’s clip shows he looks great “hunting” and I absolutely LOVED the acting of Alan Van Sprang as Valentine. He was one of the best actors in Reign and will be an amazing zealot .
~The sets look great. From the Institute to Pandemonium to Simon’s van it looks totally accurate.
~They cast Harry Shum Jr. as Magnus. This gets its own point because it is literally the perfect casting and boy can our Magnus dance.
~For those of you freaking our about Camille not being pale, calm down. We haven’t seen her in action yet and she did manage to win the role so let’s see what she has up her sleeve.
Cons:
~Who is Captain Vargas? Why is Luke a Detective? In the first book demons often disguise themselves as the police, not werewolves/shadowhunters. And PLEASE don’t make a love triangle with Luke/Vargas/Jocelyn, the two have a hard enough time getting over their past and being together as it is. Plus personally I really like books (as I’m sure is the case with most of us on this site) so Luke owning a book store made me like him that much more and respect Clary more intellectually.
My guess: There are taking from the abandoned police headquarters in the book where the Pack lives and Luke’s desire to act like a Shadowhunter again and use his skills, since Shadowhunters are the police of demons and downworlders. Plus it gives him more access to knowledge on suspicious and potentially demon activity, or maybe even the potential whereabouts of Valentine.
My somewhat crazy theory: Most of Luke’s pack are cops and that’s how they operate. This one seems a little far fetched and presents lots of problems…

So while I’m still skeptical on lots of things and seriously concerned about the whole Captain Vargas issue, I’m still really hopeful for the series. They have made a lot of good moves so far and hopefully they learned from the mistakes made in the movie with too much deviating from the book.

Agree/Disagree?
