    Can we talk about how good the soundtracks are?

    Literally the best for any TV show yet and adds a lot to the emotions...Good novel portrayals are rare. This is one of those shows that get it right (Tones down the unnecessary intimate scenes from the book)

    I go to seek a great Perhaps

    Loved it. very much true to the book. I remember years back when I first read this book i loved it and this show is exactly how i imagined it to be. For me this show is great.

    A very well executed show.

    I just gave this show a chance like what the heck and I have to say I am impressed. For a teen high school Dramedy this takes a very refreshing approach and the story, characters, and actors portraying the characters are great. I never read the book this story came from but going off this show I would guess the book is Amazing. I loved the movie paper towns, which I believe came from a book that was written by the same author who wrote this story. With that said, this is definitely worth a binge. Its better than the majority of shows they are trying to put out these days.

    So I had to come back after finishing the series... And omg this is a MASTERPIECE. The only thing bad about it is that it ofcourse wont be a season 2. I appreciate the entire staff of this production... Well done... Bravo. To think I was going on hulu to find some anime to blaze to... And I found this GEM. A must watch... My first rating was a nine but Ill give this one of my first perfect scores. I gave it nine because I was only half way through and after what Game of thrones did to me Im always a lil skeptical... But this was a pure work of art.

    I seek a great perhaps.

    Perhaps a group of misfits truly understand the true value of friendship and loyalty. And perhaps everything will turn out fine in the end. Everyone will find their way out of this labyrinth of suffering, and all will be restored. But is that truly realistic.

    As one ponders the very idea of being a part of a group of pariahs with real intelligence, and bad habits will they begin to realize the discomfort that comes with denial and betrayal.

    It isn't until a single daisy drifts off into self indulgence that a sip of ambrosia can no longer numb the pain, or the lighting of a course cigarette fails to relieve the stresses of life's unrelenting hardships. Therefore, the only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.

    Best novel adaptation ever

    I've read so many novels and seen to many of them adapted that it's safe for me to say that this show is exactly how i pictured looking for alaska.

    Even though I've read the book more times than i could count the show still jerked my tears and emotions.

    The characters are not only as good as they were in the books, some of them are even better.

    The additions to the story fit in so well that i actually wish they were in the book.

    All and all looking for alaska is nothing less than a piece of art novel turned into a piece of art tv show

    • Trivia
      The idea of Alaska's name initially came to John Green as he was watching The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). The Velvet Underground song "Stephanie Says," which plays in The Royal Tenenbaums, contains the lyrics "She's not afraid to die. The people all call her Alaska."
