So much more to say, but I won't waste my time. Cos this series already wasted enough of it!Originally posted by: foreverlazy
Finished the Good Girl's Guide To Murder tv series... don't bother with it, they lost me halfway through episode 3.
- SIX EPISODES IS NOT ENOUGH [Well I was so bored so I didn't mind, but yeah I get what you mean. The story & characters all felt half-baked and not threshed out enough]
- Pip and Ravi's first scene in the books was much better! [Yes. Also Zain and Emma's chemistry didn't do much for me]
- And on top of that, there was a random character (not in the books) who also played a similar role to Nat anyway... a total failure on both casting and writing departments, dear god. [Who do you mean? But hard agree on the rest]
- Not a big spoiler, but there was this weird side plot with Pip's parents that was never in the books and it annoyed me so much. [OMG YES! FFS we DID not need that! Just cos they wanted to give Anna Maxwell Martin - probably the only well-known name in the cast - more screen time!]
- Pip got the worst characterization, she doesn't feel like book!Pip at all, and some of Emma Myers' acting choices are just not working for this character. [Her British accent made me cringe. Also did not think she could carry off the more emotional scenes very well. The Calamity party is in a cave? Howie had no role, and they robbed Pip of that badass moment at his house!]
That being said, not sure if having read the book made me like the series less? I mean the denouement could have been a surprise to only series watchers but as a book reader I already knew how it was gonna end so I was side-eying all those characters from the get-go!
