Review by mirwell

The performances are fine, the characters are sweet but this is 14-part series follows the structure of the movie almost beat for beat. Understandable, because it's based on the same novel, but that also means it is a drawn out, slowed down retelling.

It's still made with passion though and the narrative is still strong enough to keep you engaged, but I would argue that the added runtime doesn't translate to added depth.

There is barely any scene that I dont already know, often the dialogue is copied word for word and unfortunately I dont really feel the chemistry between the two leads.

In the end, I dont understand why Netflix wanted to retell this story.
