A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

So many scenes were exactly like I imagined them while reading(ignoring the things they changed) and the amount of foreshadowing to book 3 was crazy
Fuck Max Hastings btw

7.5/10
first thing I have to say is, you'll love the show if you didn’t read the books- the acting is great for some characters, but some of them fall short
emma did a fantastic job and it wasn’t my first time watching a show she starred in, but I just don’t understand why they would hire an american actress for a british show? I could tell right away that emma slipped up a bunch of times with an american accent

I was disappointed with the significant differences between the show and the books- certain characters didn’t make it to the show, and some character dynamics were portrayed quite differently? I understand that changes are sometimes necessary for tv adaptations but these changes didn’t seem to enhance the story!!

I could go on about the differences but I’ll stop here
I did find it surprising how easily things seemed to go for the main character, with everyone being so forthcoming with information?? In the books, it felt like you were solving the mystery along with the protagonist, but in the show, it felt more like watching her jump to conclusions and have mental breakdowns when things didn’t go her way ,,,,,
there were also some plot elements introduced that didn’t seem to be fully developed which felt unnecessary :p

would I recommend this show? yes.
would I rewatch it? not really.

There were some parts in the book I wish were included in the show, but for what it is, i am very happy with how it was! The cast was PERFECT in every way

I loved the books! Could t put them down. Usually the movie or show doesn’t do it justice but this did! Loved it! Great acting!

Why is it too different from the book :/

good adaptation. one of my fav book series so i had high expectations. was sad some key parts of the plot and character lines was left out tho. i love emma myers however not sure why she was casted for a british role. hoping the next season won’t leave out as much
