Totally because you've read the book. If you could just watch the series for the series, you'd have a different take. The writer and director took the book as a base and totally HBO'd it: so the product is more intense in every sense--dangerously high bridges, water crashing on rocks, houses on water's edge, intense soundtrack, and that includes cliff and gun. And of course most characters are a hyped-up version of themselves.
Can we say there's no comparison and then just stop comparing?
Reese and Nicole optioned a great book and hired a great writer and director for the TV adaptation. HBO is the perfect platform. Can't we all just enjoy it?
Oh, and great episiode last night. I'm really looking forward to the finale.
But Perry's expression when Celestes breezily, beautifully, comes down the stairs and walks out the door to "have dinner with Jane" while brooding over his Kombucha?
