When Netflix announced the launch of it’s adaptation of this book, I was relieved to finally have a deadline to pick it up and read it.
I have a hard time getting into non-fiction books, but this was such a celebrated story that I knew I was going to read it….someday.
It isn’t a long read, so in no time I understood the hype and was ready to see the Netflix show when it premiered in 2013.
We (my hubby and I) binged Season 1.
We binged Season 2.
We binged Season 3.
……..Then I stopped watching.
After the 2015 season, I just lost interest.
The whole thing turned sloppy for me. What was once a well-written and engaging drama, just got lazy left me wishing I hadn’t watched it to begin with. It started feeling forced and like the writers were exhausted by the effort to keep up dumb story lines.
Which is too bad – because I really loved the book.
What do you think – do you still watch? Have you read the book?
