Nothing not seen before.
I've never read the books, but I don't think you need to have prior knowledge of the story to know that this is a terrible adaptation.
The script is poor, rushed, with huge plot holes and an inhuman amount of cliché.
The protagonist Pippa is described in the books as an extremely intelligent and good girl. However, her adaptation does not represent any of these qualities.
She is careless, impulsive and constantly puts herself in illogical and false super dangerous situations unnecessarily.
According to what I read, in the books Pip stands out for having solved the whole case through her investigation together with Ravi, when in the adaptation this never really happens, since almost all the information is obtained through random stories from Mcgoffin characters.
The cast, eh, I don't have much to highlight. Most of them don't even speak and seem like they just came out of acting school.
The plot development is slow and very boring. The ending is incredibly predictable and convenient, and from what I understand it is not faithful to the books.
Starring actress is what saves the show, Emma Myers did a good job overall. It's a short series, if you don't mind spending 6 hours it's okay.
