I read the book some time ago and was genuinely surprised and found it had been made into a TV Series. As a book, it didn't seem to be a very obvious candidate for dramatisation. And I am not sure its a terrible well known book either
And that rather comes over in the series because large amounts of the story gets chucked, and warped, to the extent that its not really the same story, which begs the question - why?
Why set out to do this book, and then ... not do it?
However, like the book it begs a ton of questions that you really do not want to push too much because ... it all falls apart if you do.
It also, like the book, jumps around in time and place but in the series this works even less well and you rather fear that it may be used as a vehicle to ensure that the story never ends, becoming the bane of everyone's life, the Netflix series that never reaches a conclusion.
