I watched the series and it was ok I would have given it an 8 but then I read the actual book and I have to lower the rating to 5 or even less. I would never undertand why they couldn't make the series true to the book. The book is real and excelent. The story is good enough. Biggest difference is the travel to Germany, it did not make much sense to me in the series but ok. But this is nowhere in the book. Why did they have to add it? Adding action and suspense to the original story just spoils it unnecessarily.
The "bad" jew accompanying the offended husband and then finding a gun in germany to threaten the running away bride is just stupid. Normal people don't do that. Why would anyone risk years of prison carrying a gun in a country with such strick gun control laws. Making the hasidic look as bad boys is just silly.
Some of the best series I have seen are true to the books they are based on or with minimum changes. This is not the case here but I do recommend reading the book.
