(Sorry in advance for the long post) I have seen a lot of people say that the Netflix adaptation missed the "point" of the original show. I personally believe that an adaptation doesn't need to have the same "point" as the material it is adapting, that an adaptation's purpose is to take the story, the world, and the characters of the OG and to adapt it to the new medium. This brings along abstract shifts to the story (i.e. tone, maturity, realism, etc.) and those shifts will bring along more obvious shifts (i.e. relationships, plot points, message, etc.) until you have a unique story based on an original work. I believe people are more lenient towards, or perhaps just more accustomed to, bigger changes in book adaptations. Since this is a somewhat unique sort of adaptation given they are adapting a, at it's core, serialized show into another serialized show, people seem to be expecting an adaptation that is much more similar to the OG than they might expect a book adaptation to be (at least from what I've seen). Do you think that this a fair expectation of this show? What do you believe the purpose of an adaptation to be?
