Book vs TV series: Conversations with Friends

TV series because:

  • the dialogue and the important silences
  • casting brought the characters to life in a different way (especially character of Melissa)
  • captured Frances’s detachment beautifully, which I reckon is hard to do on film.

Book here. TV series here.

  1. I’d probably watch the TV series if it was in front of me – perhaps if I ever fly o/s again. I loved the book, though not as much as Normal People. I don’t think Beautiful World is filmable – too much of it is internal – but then what would I know, and anyway someone is sure to try.
