[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised it's 8 episodes.  Big Little Lies is about the same length book and did a great job with 6.  I think they are teaching it out a little too much - hence the slow pace.  A lot happens in the book, but in thinking about it, almost all of what happens is in the last few chapters - the rest is slow build and gradual reveal.  If they put all the action into the last ep, that's a lot of filler in the next 6 to get through.

So actually there's the big reveal of what's been happening at the end, with lots of action.  But then there's a final chapter that is short-ish, where you get an additional layer of reveal.  I wonder if they will put that final chapter as ep 8?  But it's a fairly tight, short chapter so there would be lots of filter there, too.  Big action in ep 7, and then you go into ep 8 thinking most things are resolved and you're just figuring out the new normal and then bam, last 15 minutes are the second layer of reveal.

I'm interested in story telling and how you structure a story, in case you can't tell.  [/quote]
