Wanted to do this to share my thoughts 💭 😁☺️ Binged 8 episodes in 3 days
Realized this is an incomplete episode breakdown and just what Ithought of 👇🏼 episodes and the show overall
My reading blog: 😏
Heavily influenced by YouTube so used videos like https://youtu.be/wlhD4TTG_DY as a guide 😉 , https://youtu.be/rxIuufsJ69w, https://youtu.be/ctFSmQ4Ttfk
General impression: The Netflix adaptation felt like it’s own thing 🤔 Even if I’ve read the book, still didn’t know what to expect 😮 Couldn’t help drawing comparisons to the book. Liked how the show 1) brought in Sir Phillip earlier 2) more bonding with Pen-El, Benedict-Eloise 3) feel like it prepared for Benefit’s book/season 4) music 🎶, But things I looked for 1) iconic scenes and 2) relationship between Mary-Kate 🤔 So my previous post (and list) can help there!
Rewatchability: Y (yet to do)
Book or Show: For sentimental reasons, book 📖
As someone who has read the book, disappeared that some scenes were missing 🥲
