This book could have been adapted into something so much better. I just finished the six episodes and I'm frustrated and disappointed. I overall regret dedicating my time to watching the whole series. The last couple of episodes are the worst.

The acting from a lot of the side characters is very flat and dull. It feels as if they don't know what they're supposed to be portraying most of the time. Especially the boy playing Adam Young. Absolutely emotionless and dreadful! Why was he cast? Many characters needed to be cut so that there would be time to develop the ones we see. As it is, it feels like nobody really gets character development and therefore I really don't care about the fates of these characters at all.

They tried to stick way too closely to the book. They would sometimes insert lines, passages and characters from the book that just don't translate well to the screen. I wish they had been brave enough and talented enough to just take the book as inspiration but to create a story that actually works on the screen. As it stands, the novel is far superior to this.
