I read this book this year and it also blew me away by how good it was. They really need to make an HBO-style miniseries like Chernobyl out of this story. No way a 2-3 hour movie could ever come close to covering all the material. If they adapted it faithfully to the source it could be incredible

The whole book I was thinking of how awesome it would be to see a TV adaptation on the scale of Game of Thrones or similar.

So many great pieces of art have borrowed from this book. I think it could really be something special if done right.

I had the same thought about an HBO series! That would be most ideal.

If the series was in the style of GOT, a protagonist with the style of anti hero, don't question that he has a relationship with haydee because she was his slave. GOt had controversial content. Would be great.

The Count has a dubious moral rather than being a totally pure, self-sacrificing and altruistic character.

The problem with adaptations today is that the writers don't like the source material, they change the moral of the story to add woke content.
