i haven’t read the book yet so i have no idea how it compares but this is just fine. i enjoyed it enough when it was on but i have no desire to ever watch it again. the cast has a lot of talent and i think that’s the main thing you stick around for. to me the characters felt a little hollow, like we spent 10 hours with them on their journey but i never felt like i truly understood their motivations and their actions never felt earned. from what i understand they made some big changes to the daisy/billy relationship and the karen/graham relationship but i still didn’t find myself rooting for either so it seems like that was pointless. the other thing that really bothered me was the wardrobe - everything looks like it was purchased from amazon and it really took me out of the vibe of the 70s
