2 Ook

Using the policing know-how of Constable Carrot, the Watch connects Carcer's evil plan to strange goings-on at the magical institution called Unseen University. Perhaps a missing library book has something to do with the dragon attacks in the city.

5 Not on my Watch
1/24/21
The Watch have the sword, with it they could wield the force of the Noble Dragon. Vimes, would much rather no-one had power on that scale. The Watch must trek through the Unreal Estate to destroy the sword in a magical lake. Carcer isn't far behind.
6 The Dark in the Dark
1/31/21
In the race against Carcer for the second mystical artefact, Cheery, Angua and Carrot venture into the Mines of Tak, Cheery must confront the darkness in her past. Vimes and Sybil defend the besieged Watch House from Doctor Cruces and her Assassins.

Sam Vimes wakes up with more than the usual hangover. He's slipped into an alternate universe where he's a prisoner in the middle of a jailbreak. In Ankh-Morpork, the alternate-version of Vimes is leading The Watch straight into Carcer's trap.
8 Better to Light a Candle
2/14/21
Carcer's got everything he needs to control the Noble Dragon and destroy Ankh-Morpork. With hysteria on the streets and DEATH preparing himself for a very busy day, can The Watch, this band of misfits, step up and save the city from annihilation?

It's an all around great show with great characters. If you've read the books, please go into it realizing it's more "inspired by" than a miniseries retelling of the books. Things are added, things are left out, characters are changed, storylines are changed, but I think the heart is still there. The writers, crew, and cast made it their own in a way that's accessible to everyone.

Half Werewolf is epic, also the caring stone Troll ties off any doubts that you may have. Death is a dear importance in the show. I will get the watch soundtrack

Has almost nothing to do with the source material that it claims to be based on. If you like discworld then stay far away
