Deviates too far from the book


There's too much poetic license in this miniseries, all the extra embellishments make the show less informative. I'm only on episode two and don't know how I'll make it all the way through. The original miniseries was much better.

Did the original show the cock Fights? My teenager is traumatized.

The original never really showed the Chicken fights. It would focus on the Chickens squawking or the people's reactions. It did show when George's Chicken dead tho. That made me sad.
