Only watched 3 episodes. Really good so far. Only complaint I have is the reporter. Whoever made that casting decision needs to be fired.

I have never been a big reader, I just didn’t see the point when there was work to do. A kid at work turned me onto His books and I couldn’t put ‘em down. All my life I have heard the phrase “the book was better” and this is no exception. In all honesty, considering it is a woke Amazon production, it’s darn good! Yes they used some artistic freedoms when I wish they would not have BUT, for such a series to even be taken on during the current political climate and cat-a-fied culture is remarkable! I was also hopeful the cameo would have lasted longer but it was good to see Jack on the screen. Now if only I could only find someone to make me a Winkler w/o the Winkler price tag…

Having said that, had I never read the book, I would be extremely engrossed in the series. But I did, and it is one of my favorite books, and I’m disappointed in visual recreation…

That’s just it… I can tolerate the artistic license for location, character development, even adding characters that aren’t in the book and not including characters that are. But they fundamentally changed this book from a Political Thriller to a Psychological thriller. And with that change they watered down the message of the book regarding the *******ization of our gov at the highest level by corporations at the expense of citizens. My guess is the real story rang too close to true.

I think you 1000% right the original wasn’t “woke enough” and it literally all but called Clinton out by name…. They made the sec def into a martyr instead of the POS greedy monster she was in the book. Also yes it was too close to real “politics” for them
That said it’s far from the worst recreation of book to movie… and the last episode really tied things up fairly well
That’s said 99% chance they are working on season 2 already, there was an Easter egg if you have read the books
