“Shadow and Bone” is currently streaming on Netflix, having been the #2 most watched show in the US on its debut weekend. This fantasy-action series is an adaptation of the hit book series by author Leigh Bardugo. (Netflix)
Book-to screen adaptations are oftentimes a high risk, but high reward genre. Consider Harry Potter, arguably one of the best movie adaptations ever made. Nearly every scene in all eight movies felt like a realization and tangible expansion of everything fans imagined the books to be. Unfortunately, this true-to-source approach is rare. Just glance at a Percy Jackson movie and you know an all too common pain that fans of book series feel. Beloved characters, complex plots and meaningful themes, through the age old tragedy of high-expectations, are positively butchered on screen (I still get nightmares about Annabeth with black hair).
