[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're going to change Benedict's book.  It's just Cinderella.

But the actor is hilarious and I look forward to his season.[/quote]
I’m sure there will be plenty of whining about changing the source material like it’s sacred literature or something. Even the charming parts where Benedict thinks he’s doing her a favor by asking her to be his mistress and getting pissed when she refuses.[/quote]
I saw the first season before I read the book and thought the book was WAY better. I hardly think it's "sacred literature" but yeah, I do generally hate when producers take a book and say "we're making it into a movie!" and then randomly change up 90% of it just because they feel like it. It does usually make the movie/show worse and it sure did here. Reminds me of when people on recipe sites are like "oh I didn't like this ingredient and didn't have these three other ones so I subbed two for something totally different and left the other two out altogether and this recipe [i]sucked, zero stars[/i]." Either stick with the source material within reason or just say you're doing your own thing and let it stand on its own two feet.[/quote]

How in the heck can the book be a decent TV show when there’s NOTHING else going on besides the main character story. There’s nothing to build a show around. I read the first book too. I read the first four books in fact, and they made such an impression on me I promptly forgot almost every detail until reminded later. They’re not good. Bridgerton was selected to be an TV adaptation because the books themselves are hugely modern even though they claim to be set in the 1800s.  The showrunners are doing a far better job with making this series feel fresh than the books do. [/quote]
