I'm so very glad I don't read the books prior to watching adaptations. Because they're totally different ways of telling a similar story and you'd hate the book if you watched the film first. This is a wonderful series, full of fiction because it IS fiction. Bravo to the lighthearted details E. M. injected thoughtfully during interactions with the younger actors. Great writing, great idea, very enjoyable watch. I'm so very glad I don't read the books prior to watching adaptations.
