Amazing series
I was completely captivated by Episode 1, and Episode 2 only makes me wish it were Friday already. This adaptation stays faithful to the novel's dialogue while adding more depth to its characters. For example, in the book, Runch doesn't so openly show how close she is to breaking down. From the very first episode, we're introduced to the characters' struggles, only to end on a bittersweet note by showing how Runch and Neen first met. It leaves you wondering: If they love each other so much, what happened that made Runch ask Neen for a divorce? The director makes excellent use of the camera, capturing the cast's performances in the best possible way. Every actor and actress delivers an outstanding performance. The variety of outfits also keeps the visuals fresh, avoiding the repetitive feeling of seeing the characters in the same clothes all the time, which is something I really appreciate.The attention to detail is impressive as well. In one of the flashbacks set three years ago, they even used a phone model that was actually released three years ago. There are no filler or unnecessary scenes just to fill the runtime. Every moment serves a purpose and moves the story forward.
