If you are watching this and expecting it to be just like the book since it's "based on the book," then just skip it or expect to be highly disappointed. Writers changed the characters to be so insufferable. They made Tiffy so unbelievably and hopelessly pathetic and Leon a fkn loser and cynic, who thinks the world is after him all the frkn time, it was painful to watch. Kay was more of a psycho than Justin. There's no Martin, which I thought was relevant to the story. Instead, they added Si, the officemate they could've skipped because he had no purpose in the show at all. They made Mr. Prior a grumpy, old man who hates interaction with people and Rachel a stuck up lesbian. Holly was older in this show too and was too serious imo. The plot was so different than the original story, it's so cliche and nauseating. I don't even understand why each episode had to last at least 45 minutes. It was pure agony watching it because the romance was so forced and rushed, unless maybe you haven't read the book, then by all means, this show is okay. Typical "romance story" with all its hang ups with the ex and the drama including it.
