The Bridgerton: Books vs Netflix

Dear readers,

Hope you're all OK and are currently enjoying the Summer?
Sorry, I haven't written in a long time...

In the meantime, I don't know if you're aware or know about the Bridgerton already? (If not, you definitely should!). The author (Julia Quinn) imagined a family of eight children, named in alphabetical order (Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth), living in the middle-of the 19th Century. As you can imagined, a lot happens, with their mother's meddling and encouraging them to marry, their constant banter, the mysterious Lady Whistledown and other intrigues....that I'll let you discover :)  I can guarantee they'll make you laugh and cry at the same time. Almost impossible to stop reading! :)

However, I recently discovered that it was to become a TV series, coming soon on Netflix. I'm a bit...how can I say? Hum...divided, shall we say? In a way, I'm curious and intrigued as to what the result is going to be, as I read the books and I always wondered what the characters would like if a TV series or a movie would ever be made one day. It might be fun to watch after all. It might be a good TV show, despite my misgivings. And I won't know until I watch it, that's for sure. But a part of me is also worried. Not too worried. Just a little bit. Mostly because half the time, whenever they tried to adapt books whether it's for the cinema or the TV, it's a...disaster. Sorry but it can be sometimes. It's either too much. Or too cheesy. Or they cut most of what happened in the books (e.g Harry Potter franchise or Twilight being one of many examples, there are probably others) or tend to change everything. The main reason...money. Or the director has his or her own visions, which can differ, I guess, from the book(s).
Also, Netflix is big machine...so to speak (like Amazon Prime). Some TV shows rarely get a proper chance. And disappear too soon. Whatever the reason is (bad reviews, not many interests, too expensive...). Each streaming company has its own policy.

Anyway, that's just me. You're welcome to have your opinion. And, like I said, above, I won't know specifically until I saw at least one episode (whenever its released, although it might be a while as they are only starting to assemble the cast). So more later....I'll keep you posted.
Whilst waiting, you can read the books in  advance ;)
Take care and see you soon for another article xxx

P.s= There are also prequels....if you are interested?

Ces séries qui vous rendent accro!

Dear readers, Hope you're all OK! It seems that you're quite lucky (lol), inspiration has strike again! (rire) Anyway, I still don't know how they do it but they still do! These TV shows that keep you awake at night, that keep your imagination going all the time , wondering what's going to happen next! We're all waiting impatiently every year for new episodes and discover, (re)discover again our favourites! There is so many that I can't remember every one of them, but these american (mostly because they come from that country but there others of course!)know how to keep your attention alive with all their famous ingredients: suspense et retournement de situation, making the characters evolve, making romantic situation impossible (sense where you always want them to be together but they're often too stubborn at first!) or make you think that this person kill someone else when it's not him or her, but someone else did it or getting on your nerves when of course someone tries to getting away with it (or think he/she can)...anyway you see what I mean...it's always the same thing, you discover a TV show you like and you can't stop watching it! And you can't wait to see what's going to happen next! :) Take for example: Friends, How I met your Mother, Castle, Drop dead diva, Burn notice, Csi (et autre franchise si vous aimez but I've a slightly preference for CSI Las vegas), Ncis (or NCIS LA), Once upon a time, Grimm, Vampire Diaries, Bones, Royal Pains, Necessary Roughness, White Collar and many others...you can't get enough and sometimes even if it's not that great...they still found a way to make you watch it, to renew your interest, it's horrible! They must be really good! :) That's it for today, I just wanted to share it with you! Take care and see you soon for another article I hope! :) xxxx
