9/10
Prequel, not an adaptation
10 August 2023
First of all this is a prequel so people who expect this to be accurate to the movie or book need to manage their expectations and edit their poor reviews based on that mistaken premise. I thought the 2 leads were extremely likable. Denton for one portrays a multifaceted Valmont- charismatic, confident, vulnerable, compassionate and ruthless.

An unpopular opinion but I actually prefer these 2 main leads to the movie's Glenn and John.

Sure the storyline has some flaws but it tries to fill in on the events before and how they come to be lovers and yet at war.

Costumes and sets (whether cgi or not) were well done.
