Did you read the description of this pilot up there? Hope you did. Here’s now the description of the book it’s based on: “When Queen Bee Teena locks UFO conspirator Leo, extreme virgin Evan, and straight-A student Sarabeth in the basement during her biggest party of the year, she doesn’t plan on getting trapped in the Loser Dungeon (as she so names it) herself. She can barely imagine a night with these dweebs—let alone a lifetime. But when an alien invasion destroys their entire Midwestern suburb, it looks like these unlikely friends are the last people on earth. Now, it’s up to them to save the world…” Very different, hum? While the show seems kinda fun -and spoiler alert: it is!- the book seems even funnier and more importantly: edgier. It’s a bummer because I really liked this script but I can’t help thinking about what could have been if they did a straight adaptation of the novel. And the question is: why adapting it in the first place if it’s to make it so different? Nobody cares anyway. It’s not like it had a huge fanbase already. But let’s focus on The CW’s The End Of the World As We Know It, which is totally different from Netflix’s The End of the F****** World by the way.
