The trailer tells the entire series if you have half a mind to see it.
Well, as the trailer clearly shows you bits and pieces of every major piece of the story, then you don't need much of an imagination to see where this is going. Why is the series so scared that they show everything in the trailer? Here's why:The main flaw is that you can't see Rob's personality or traits in Adele, and that greatly reduces the overall quality of the series. Its like those movies where the directors just do whatever they want in order for the pieces to later fit together even though it doesn't add up when you reveal the whole picture. In other words (and unfortunately) - bad story telling.
I didn't read the book but I'm sure it was so much better... When you think about it, the creators kind of treats the viewer as an mindless zombie in the big picture, as you're just supposed to take it as it is at the end and not question that transition to Adele and say 'ahhh of course, it all adds up' just because they made her an addict. ONE thing is not enough to justify an entire series of 'lets just do whatever we want to make things fit'.
And that's why the trailer shows everything. Because they know the series is built obn really poor story telling. Those kind of shows just try to sell you everything they got on the trailer.
A perfect transition from the book would probably end up as a trailer where you see a simple 'cheating' story, and perhaps you wouldn't want to watch it... But you'd find out from friends that there's more to it, and the word would spread to make the series a hit, rather than though an all revealing trailer.
Very poor story telling.
