I was expecting it to be like the book! But was a totally different story lol so left disappointed and confused
I thought it was based on the book and was quite excited to watch it. During the first episode I was so confused and I was thinking that maybe I was getting the book mixed up with a different one. Once I reread the book summary and then I read some spoilers for the series and I realised they were different. I couldn't get in to the series at all, I just found it boring and all the characters annoyed meIt's not the same. I thought when it was about to start that I had read the book but when I read the synopsis of the TV series I realised it was a completely different story.
The Channel 4 series is based on the Dutch programme New Neighbours.
Exactly! When I started watching I thought I'd got it wrong and that it was set elsewhereOn Gogglebox they compared it to Desperate Housewives. That’s exactly what it looks like
