Queen Sugar (2016–2022)
2/10
Not the same as the book.

Warning: Spoilers
I guess if you have not read the book you will love the show. I had to watch the first episode several times because it was so different. In the book Charlie's husband is dead and she has a daughter not a son. Hollywood was Creole and looked almost white, he does not have a wife but stays on the family's old plantation, Blues mother died from a drug over dose, there is no sister named Nova, this is what really threw me! There are only 2 siblings and Charley is Ralph Angel's half sister. The father has already died so there is no family gathering for a funeral, also Remy is white. And where the hell is Miss Honey, Violets mother, because she is the one that raised Ralph Angel and when Charle and Micah return to Louisiana it's at her house they stay, not Violet's. I am watching the show, and each time I have to remind myself to put the book out of my mind! I just don't understand why so many changes were made! I don't think there are any spoilers here but how can it be when the show is so much more different than book. I was and am really disappointed.
