TV Series Adaptation Review: Shadow and Bone Season 1

 .

 

It's been a few months since I finished watching the TV Adaptation of Shadow and Bone, and now I have finally mustered the motivation to write a review about it. I started watching this series right after I finished reading the first book with the same title, Shadow and Bone; and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the TV adaptation included characters from another series by the same author. I think that's what made watching this adaptation feels different compared to my reading experience. Even though I already know the plot points from the Grisha trilogy, there are other characters with their personal agendas that keeps the story intriguing for me. There are 8 episodes in this first season; and in this review I will share the overall plot and discuss my thoughts on this TV series adaptation 😊.

TV Series Adaptation Review: Game of Thrones Season 1

I finally watched the first season of Game of Thrones by the end of last month! I know I'm four seasons behind, but I don't really care because I watched this just to refresh my memory before I started reading the second book in A Song of Ice and Fire series: which is A Clash of Kings. I must say, that my experience watching the TV series after having read the book is completely different from those who only watched the TV series. I already know all the major plot points and twists that will happen in the story, so there's barely anything that surprised me. But I will have to say that I still thoroughly enjoyed it nevertheless. I love watching the world along with all the characters in it come to life. There are 10 episodes in this first season; and in this review I will briefly mention the overall plot and discuss my thoughts on this TV series adaptation as well :) *There might be some minor spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution.

Hello! This is the first post of a new feature that I will start on this blog, which is a TV series adaptation review. And to start off this new feature, I'm reviewing a TV series that I didn't plan on watching in the first place: Outlander. I watched it because my Mom loves historical dramas which sets in places like England/Scotland and such. Even though this genre of TV series is not a genre I prefer, I'm still very much intrigued because it received so much love and quite a lot of hype. There are 8 episodes in the first part of season 1, and I will be talking about the overall plot in general as well as my personal opinion about it. Sadly I won't be able to compare it with the original novels because I haven't (and won't) read them. And I will try my best not to spoil too much for those of you who're interested in watching the TV series :)
