Oh, I am still sobbing, and it has already been a day I completed this mini-series which has left me so empty. Back in 2020, I came across this extraordinary book "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr and trust me the few days I spent reading it were painfully beautiful. I had cried, learnt, smiled, and I definitely wasn't the same person anymore. It quickly became one of my favorite stories. I still remember how long it took me to overcome the effect it had on me. So, after that I was beyond excited for the show. Yes, once again here I am stuck in the pain this story has left me with again.
Talking about the series, I was really sad when I got to know that there would be only 4 episodes. Like seriously? the story could easily run for at least 10 episodes. Alas, it was only 4. However, I could easily tell that the makers did an excellent job in capturing almost every important element of the story. The best part was casting blind actors for the role of Marie, oh the hero she is, I completely adore her! The cinematography, the direction, the cast, and their acting everything truly added up value to this masterpiece.

Though the ending could offend some true fans of the book, because they might feel that the show did not complete the story and left with an open ending. However, I felt it was perfect. There was so much hope for the audience. The book did not do much justice here and definitely left all the fans heartbroken. But the show somehow gave me a bittersweet happiness.

In a nutshell, I loved the show, though it could be a little longer. Still, it is enough to satisfy you with its beauty. Go Watch It!!!
