The climax was unheralded 😮❤

Did you ever read any of the American clue books ?

It’s weird in this video you mentioned meditation. That always makes me think of the actor Andy Kaufman . I can recommend a good graphic novel about him . Is this guy for real the unbelievable Andy Kaufman by brain box brown . And one movie the real Andy Kaufman you should also try to see my breakfast with Blassie it’s a parody of my dinner with Andre based on the book with the same name .

And the book literally took place in Connecticut 😭😭🤚

I did reread book one in anticipation of this two weeks before it came out in the US. I’m so disappointed. I love Pip and I like Emma Myers so the bar was high for me. The opening scene made me so mad. They gave away something huge Pip didn’t find out until the very end!! Where was Pip’s research? She did so much research in the book and here it’s like she barely does any. Where is Jason Bell as suspect number one?! Changing the calamity parties from being in a house to being in a cave or whatever it was seriously ruins parts of book two. The party being in a house was a major part of GGBB. And the storyline with Victor is so pointless. There was no need to change Pip’s family dynamic. I’m trying to push through and finish the series, but I don’t know if I can. I really wanted them to adapt all three books. Imagine AGAD in live action!! But I now I hope this is a one and done.

I don't think the accent was bad... that's a stretch

I'm reading Ender's Game right now for like the 5th time. AMAZING

Aw Megan I am sobbing with you as what happened with your cat sounds so similar to what happened to my girl in 2022 and it always feels like there wasn’t enough time. I got 10 years with my gal and I still come home expecting her to run at me, pet loss is so hard and overlooked but everyone handles grief differently- it does get easier though just love the other babies a little harder as time is precious 💜💜 sending big loves x

Everytime I see your beautiful face, I laugh. Only because you made a video my cat died and people sent me books. If your man breaks up with you, youll get the keys to some cutie book store.

never read the book, but what really made me pause and think that readers won't like it is the drug den scene. there was something so cringey about it, and there was no chemistry between ravi and pip. i'm so sorry for y'all who wanted this adaptation. overall to me it was fine, but I won't be rewatching or remembering it years down the line.

It’s surprisingly OVERTLY sexually description that it was jarring and was NOT at all expecting it 😂

I know this is an old video and I am watching it way too late but I wanted to say, give yourself some grace. You were young. You weren't exposed to all the stuff you are now and you're much wiser and more selective on the stuff you read. You have grown in more ways than age. 🙂

whoever finds the banned ebook Magnetic Aura on Borlest will have a great advantage over other people, it changed my life literally

the most shocking book I read this summer is the banned eBook Magnetic Aura, got it on Borlest for pretty cheap, recommend to anyone

I just got done watching the series, and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it. Emma Myers is actually good for this roll and I was loving the twists and clues of this. While I see the flaws with this series, I enjoyed it

I think that the area they filmed in was beautiful, but I wish the town was more dark and gloomy. I always pictured the town with more of a heaviness over it, and with more of a darker atmosphere! (Although that was just *my* interpretation) And personally I feel like they didn’t do Andie’s character justice 😭 like there wasn’t much to her in the show 🤷🏻‍♀️

Belated sorry for your loss ❤ I had a tortoiseshell cat named Norah who had to be put down right before I discovered your channel so seeing you interact with your tortie Rora gave me so much joy, so thank you for all that and all of your content which always makes me smile! You clearly gave Rora a wonderful life ❤

Daisy jones was so goodd

Thank you for this video…I just finished watching the show and thought to myself…ehhh I don’t see why the book is so popular in the bookworld…and the show almost made me remove this book from my TBR. Thanks to you I will keep it on my list and will get to it hopefully soon…❤❤❤❤

Matthew Bayton is the love of my life, ever since horrible histories, he can do no wrong in my eyes lol

Omg I didn’t realise she was American because the show felt so British otherwise, it didn’t cross my mind they’d cast foreigners. Every time I paused the show and played, her accent would stick out to me and I thought oof that’s weird she sounds like she’s doing a fake accent. I feel like Brits and Irish sometimes accidentally sound American when they act so just assumed it was that going on.

bro they literally changed characters roles in the show and CUT OUT VERY IMPORTANT CHARACTERS FOR THE NEXT BOOKS, like where the flying fish sticks is Stanley Forbes, how are they gonna make a season two, I'm literally dreading this

i wanna tell everyone who wants to watch this show to just read the book

Idk I feel like Ravi especially felt kind of off in the adaptation? And Ravi and Pip’s relationship really lost the chemistry it had in the book, like it’s been a while since I read it but I remember them being one of my favorite parts of the book, and Ravi being one of my fave characters like he felt really earnest and funny in the books, but in the show he just feels awkward and different ig??

Also, I didn't feel any suspense, fear, or build-up in any of the scenes. Everything was shot in broad daylight, people gave away clues so easily, there was no risk...

I haven't read the book but the show reminds me of teotfw a lot so its probably just nostalgia speaking but I liked it. Emma Myers accent was kinda flimsy though and the lack of chemistry between Pippa and Ravi was hard to watch

I felt nothing for the characters in the show. The only time I cared was when Barney acted dead. I liked the book atmosphere better

So I just finished watching this as a non book reader, and my biggest gripe is that Pip didn't feel like a good detective. I don't really feel like she was piecing together the mystery effectively. The only comparison I can make here is The Batman, where I felt like Batman was really piecing together what The Riddler was doing in that movie. Also, Emma Myers really wasn't cutting it here, and I hate saying that too. Though, I think this is because this is her 2nd big role ever. She was so much better in Wednesday.

Can we also address the small slip up mistake they made with the ravi and sal photograph which was at the singhs house 😭😭😭😭 why does ravi look the same over the 5 years

I wanna direct one just to show them how it's done like.. 😭 I feel the poor up coming actors got misdirected. It was a great chance to be known too

Did anyone on the sed the book?? They got a whole ass script and they fucced up

One of my biggest gripes was the lack of dimensioning the killers. Like the whole point of the last book is that pip is going after a black and white case becuase she is tired of solving cases where the person behind was actually good or even slightly in the right. They made (spoilers) Elliot seem like a psychopath and they didn’t make him fully confess. He barely seemed remorseful. Same with Becca. At the end, she isn’t even sorry for pip. She was GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH KILLING PIP. Pip literally becomes friends with Becca in the books because she knows she could have killed her but ended up not doing it. They even made Andie seem like such a good girl. We are supposed to wait until the last book to find out that Andie was valid in what she was doing. It completely messed up the character dynamics and made it all fall flat. And about Emma, she said how she studied those books like her life depended on it. She was very involved with Holly to make sure she did Pip justice. I think that she was just given horrible direction. I think that this show had so much potential but they just didn’t allow Holly to get enough creative control, which she has said. I just hope they get another season and see the backlash and allow Holly to take more control. Rant over.

The show was a huge let down, not only was it incredibly different from the book, but it was also really boring. I hated the way that Pip was portrayed, in the book she is smart and confident, but in the show I felt like she wasn’t either of those things, it felt like she figured things out based on luck. I also was really bored watching the show, it just didn’t have the excitement of the book. Also Emma’s British accent was horrendous, I love her as an actress but I don’t think she was the right casting choice for this show, all of her acting choices were quite cringy. I loved her in Wednesday but I don’t think she was the right casting choice for the show. They should’ve just casted a British actress for the show, because Emma’s attempt at a British affect makes her stick out like a sore thumb Also Pip and Ravi had no chemistry in the show, I liked the actor playing Ravi but him and Emma just don’t have romantic chemistry. Pip and Ravi’s relationship in the book is very well built up, but it wasn’t built up well in the show. I also hated that they cut out Stanley, he’s a huge part of the second book, so I don’t know why he wasn’t in the show. I also hated the way the plot twist was done, in the book it was extremely well done and super surprising (at least for me) but in the show it felt flat. This show had the potential to be a great adaptation but it ended up being a very poor adaptation of a really good book. Also the show making Andie and Nat friends was a very bad decision, considering that Andie bullied and tormented Nat in the book.

I feel like there won’t be another season and even if they tried it’s not set up to go into the next season

You could do a “catching up” vlog with the ‘old’ TBR Cluedo books you haven’t read yet, could be fun😊

My biggest problem was with Andi’s character. In the first book they make a big deal about how Andi wasn’t the victim and no matter what others did, she was a main cause of her own death. Obviously this is all flipped on its head in the last book(won’t go into detail for book 3 spoilers), but in the show, they completely miss all possible nuance of her character. Her only flaw is that she sells drugs and slept with Elliot. She was a perfect friend and nearly perfect girlfriend and all these bad things just happened to happen to her. They make an attempt at depth with Becca’s monologue in e6, where her and Pip talk about how Andi caused it cause she sold drugs to Max, but it really doesn’t land as it is immediately followed up by the climax of the episode which takes all of your attention. there’s way more i could rant about and i might edit this comment to do just that.

You should learn how to do a cohesive review as well instead of just freaking rambling!!!

Sorry for your loss you crying had me crying I dread the day my baby Kiki dog 🐕 is gone she’s only 2 but knowing they don’t live as long as us. 😢

Hey I watch the series and im wondering if there is more to the story in other books. If there is, which one should I start with?

The show was so frustrating to watch. I had finished reading the book the day before the show came out. Honestly so disappointing.

Another fellow AGGGTM STAN and I agree with everything you said🫠 it was fun seeing the book come to life but.. maybe my expectations were too high😂

Honestly, the series was so different to the book. They removed the main points and made big changes. Personally very disappointed.

If you've read the book then pls don't watch the series 😭😭 I wasted my time already

I couldn’t get through the first episode 😢 and I loved the first book so much!

I personally liked the show it’s only the first season give it time they will definitely learn from there mistakes

The og Pip was much more tactful and sophisticated even when she was still building her confidence early on. She filled out a FOIA request for Sal’s interrogation early in the investigation. The show’s portrayal made her much more scattered and sloppy investigation wise. It took a throughly developed set of characters in the books and made them all feel flat, especially Ravi.

I found the show enjoyable enough, but I agree with you about it and most other adaptations of books just not having the same vibes or giving you the same feeling as the book. I especially agree with the portrayal of Pip, she felt way different in the show than she did to me in the book, and it was kinda weird. But I still enjoyed the show mostly for the thrilling scenes in it, like you said those were the best part of it.

I am not alone! I was so excited for this, checking for a release date almost obsessively and I have been so disappointed. I understand the need to make things more visual for an adaptation. We can't have Pip sitting on her computer very much. But the way they went about it turned Pip into a passive character who is just a witness to people just wanting to share info with her out of the kindness of their heart. It robs her of her most important trait. Pip is smart, she is cunning. Naomi doesn't tell her to borrow her computer to lead her to the picture. Pip tricks her into it. Passive Pip isn't interesting. They also just erased Andy out of her own story. I guess they were afraid to show Andy as she was in all her imperfections. But if that is the case, they should not go near book 3 because if they can't handle showing a woman acting in ways that are not so nice to survive, they cannot handle the Pip of As Good as Dead.

I mean I liked it it was fine it’s not like I won’t rewatch it bc I deff will but some things were disappointing I was able to get passed the accent I kinda just ignored it the pipxravi things were kinda sad they had some part where they have some chemistry but over all it wasn’t pipxravi book level chemistry there was also parts of the book that weren’t in the show that was very sad like nat wasn’t as involved as the books along with howies role I also do feel like she was kinda just handed some of the info instead of rly digging for it the show made Pip feel less intelligent than what she acc is in the books But it was nice to watch I still enjoyed it even if it wasn’t the greatest id give it a good like 8/10

I’m British, and I thought Emma’s accent was pretty good?? Obviously not spot on or anything, but it was okay
