If you are a John Green lover then this would be great for you, although I highly recommend you read the book first. When I read the book a couple of years back, it took me a while to get through. I didn't quite grasp the character development in the book quite as much as I did in this mini-series which I believe is better than the book itself (not saying that the book was awful by the way, I did like it). The story is well portrayed by each character and the emotions are definitely there, from the heart break, to the gaining and losses of friendships to the teenage cringe which almost seems too uncomfortable to watch although you can't help but laugh at the awkwardness and reality of it all.
In terms of acting, I believe that the cast were chosen perfectly, I couldn't have picked better and after watching Sierra Burges is a Loser, I was skeptical to see Kristine Froseth play the character of a broken and complicated Alaska instead of the high school biatch but to her performance in this, I applaud her and say brava.
