As someone who loved the book, this series sucks. They literally changed the whole story. Portrayal of the characters was disastrous. When you are reading this book, you KNOW the characters and their traits. In book, Karen explained the characters so well it's like you know them in person but in the series, you don't KNOW who they are. It was so chaotic, everything is happening too fast and they didn't give time each character to let them absorb the information and show their reaction and their feelings. Especially how they exposed everyone's secrets in first 2 episodes.
That's why i hate watching shows and movies based on books that i have read because it's never the same. They ruin your whole experience of the book too. I don't get why they make movies based on books when they have to change the whole story.
The only star i gave was because of the characters ( physically). The cast is exactly how i imagined them but their acting was not good in my opinion.
Also someone who haven't read the book can enjoy this show.
