There are very few movie/show book adaptations that I believe are as good as or better than the book. Station Eleven was one of these. I read Station Eleven and thought it was ok but I LOVED the HBO limited series. While much of the story line was the same the series was really quite different from the book and it is exactly these changes which made it a fabulous show. I loved all the characters and I loved all the changes. The final episode was excellent and made me cry. For such a devastating story line I found the goodness of people that showed through and the feeling of hope the the shows leaves you with was a pleasant surprise. Although I believe that because I read the book I could appreciate the show more than someone who has not read it, I do recommend it and would even watch it again; something that I rarely do.
