The magnificent, intricate and detailed Pulitzer winning book has been adapted into a 4hours mediocre movie split in 4parts. The 70% of the book is there lives more before and how they collide as it goes through different timelines. The series focused on only 30% of the book and used few flashbacks, giving as viewers no connection to any of the characters. We know it is set during WWII and Holocaust but the director never took us deep into how they end up there. They acted as if, well You know the story, Don't You!!!
French and Germans interacting in English would have made sense but Germans n French are speaking in English to eachother while actors are from these countries just felt like a lazy approach to what could have been a brilliant story.
You have a director of Night at the Museum and The Pink Panther; a comedy director directing a serious story like this speaks volume of how much Netflix cares. This is another prime example of how Netflix never cared for the Art or the medium itself, it's just another thing on their weekly calendar. That's why no-one remembers anything on Netflix or talks about it in years to come.
