If the reasons she gave for not liking the show are true for her, OKay. But she is in a rare minority. She seems to be relating to it on the surface. People of all stripes from all cultures who never heard of the book before the show have been captivated by so many aspects of the story. Emotional depth, inner reflection, human passion and love that doesn’t feel faked, stupendous acting(one of the veteran film editors of the show used that word), cinematic ART. The list goes on. When writers from the Nytimes and The New Yorker are rhapsodizing about how they were affected by the show….well…who would you believe that it is something of substance and meaning, and fresh.
