From the romance of Bridgerton to the fantasy of Shadow and Bone, here are some great shows on Netflix based on books.
Novels are such a great place to find material for TV shows. They tend to have rich and imaginative stories with worlds in which you can easily lose yourself, full of rich and compelling characters that are well-suited to long-form serialized storytelling. It’s always exciting to see your favorite books come to life on screen, to see what changes the writers made, and to see how the actors have chosen to bring these characters to life.
Maid is an emotional mini-series from creator Molly Smith Metzler inspired by the best-selling memoir by Stephanie Land. Maid stars Margaret Qualley as a young woman who escapes an abusive relationship and begins cleaning houses in order to provide for her daughter. In addition to the grounded performances from Qualley and Nick Robinson , Maid also features Qualley’s real-life mother, Andie MacDowell , in the role of her mother.
Trinkets follows a trio of friends who meet at a Shoplifters Anonymous meeting. Though they have one major thing in common, in other ways, they couldn’t be more different. Elodie is shy, while Moe is rebellious and Tabitha comes from a well-off family. Despite keeping their relationship at school a secret, the three of them lean on each other when dealing with family and romantic issues.
The glitzy world of fashion from the ‘60s to the ‘80s is brought to life in the thrilling miniseries Halston, which follows the titular fashion designer as he creates one of the most storied brands in the business. Showrunner Sharr White adapted Steven Gains’ 1991 biography Simply Halston: The Untold Story. Even if you’re not always a fan of the Ryan Murphy style of storytelling, Halston is thankfully less melodramatic and more earnestly emotional than the rest of his projects.
