If I could give 0 stars I would. This show is nothing like the books and ruins what Fredrik Backman worked so hard for. People will watch this show and think this is what Beartown is. If you want to see and understand Beartown then you should read the books because the show is the complete opposite of everything. The characters in the show are not who they are in the books. The books have so much more meaning and the show ruins this for the people who only watch shows. This show doesn’t follow the book at all and it doesn’t even come close to sending the message it’s supposed to.
