Nos4a2 book vs mini series
So I finished the book a bit a week ago and genuinely enjoyed it, I thought it was a cool take on a vampiric story without being another Salem’s Lot or something. I know you run into the rush of every adaptation being different than the source material but you always have to hope it will be good. But my god it’s like the writers read the cliff notes and said we can do better and just whiffed it. It’s not a bad show and if I saw it firsthand., I probably would enjoy it just fine but all the changes just take me out. I get making changes if it’s something that is underwhelming or unimportant to the plot, I even get keeping Vic to two different ages vs 4 so you can use the same actress. I don’t mind small stuff being changed or small characters not being included like Manx’s second kid, but why do they need to shoehorn other characters and plot lines into it? Like why add the neighbor kid in the first season just to not have her in the second? Why add these other true creatives to the story just to rush the main plot? I have like 3-4 episodes left and it’s to the point we’re in just finishing the show to finish it to see the ending. Again not a bad show the acting is good with highly talented actors and the effects are impressive it’s just far less captivating than the book. I don’t know maybe it’s me.
