Trivia
Gary Oldman was originally rumored to be cast but was replaced by Kevin Kline.

Goofs
In multiple episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium length telephoto. Such a lens would be incapable of focusing on close-in subjects such as selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine.

I got sucked into seeing the first episode of this without having read the book, so I will probably finish it off that way.

Anyone read and book and watched the series? Which was better?

Sandy, I watched 2-3 episodes before seeing I could borrow the audiobook on Hoopla, so then I listened to the whole thing which reignited my interest in the series. At a point it becomes repetitive and seems bogged down. So the book revealed a HUGE twist and I very much wanted to see how it played out.

Thinking back I wish I hadn't read the book because knowing the twist before it happened on screen sort of spoiled it for me. Not that it still wasn't fantastic, but you know what I mean.

The series follows the book very closely but the very end was a bit different.

And fun fact: Watch for the housecats to make cameo appearances in almost every scene! I had a blast seeing them and pointing them out to my husband. They're almost unnoticeable like part of the set, but very clever, I thought. Someone obviously is a cat lover.

Thanks Karen - I will watch for the cats...lol!
