I've read the Corfu trilogy written by Gerry. It was a wonderful series of books. Normally I don't much like a movie or tv series "based on" on the books. They tend to lose the nuance and feeling of reading the entire narrative. In this series (I'm only on season 1), I feel like they've captured the characters AND are giving us what we missed in the books: a more adult perspective. When reading, I really wanted to know more about the mother and siblings and the series adeptly takes on the challenge. It's like being able to find out so much more of what happens to your favorite characters. Highly recommend.
