Such a great book, so many scenes that cried for cinematic scenes but the script writers obviously had no love for the novel or the viewers. Take the scene when John is heir to a trillion dollar. In the book, all lawyers round up and they first say, he gets a million, than 10, than 100 until the oldest of them breaks the news of a trillion. Each time, John reacts and the whole thing is just beautiful. In the show, it's just a trillion and John takes literally just a minute to swallow and that's it. In the book, the first chapters are about enjoying being rich and enjoying that. Here he buys a ferrari and two minutes later, he's in the middle of some conspiracy. The setup with the cliff and the car and the sister if the deceased first heir is beyond stupidity, it insults the intelligence of the viewer. I guess, most people won't go beyond that trillion mile big plot hole and rightfully so.
What a waste. What an opportunity. Shame on the writers, producers and directors, I really wanted to like that show but you messed it up for no good reason!
