The story of this series is 85% fiction - not according to the book

I was expecting to see things from the book in more details and enjoy the original storyline.

Actors are very old - it looses the authenticity.

The story is however completely new and changed - 85% is pure fiction ( for example Christiane doesn´t have a sister, Stella "replaced" Kessi and is shown as classmate of Christiane). The new storyline is a bit shallow and if I did not read the book, I would think it´s boring. I was really looking forward to see storyline from book - authentic and according to reality as it was - not the fiction.

Especially: Christiane and Babsi living together and their fight in bathroom over the first "Druck" of heroin

I wanted to see how addicted they were, wanted to see how Christiane wanted to be clean at least 7 times and still went back to H - I wanted to see the great power of H over their bodies... However I did not, also their faces looked good - they should be changed because of lack of food, sleep, damage of organism by the subtance.....

And also one fact that I would like to mention about death of Babsi.

Babsi did have untreated hepatitis when she overdosed herself - that´s the real reason why her organism could not handle the dose - it was mentioned only in the book. (and also that someone might sell her the drug with lot of impurities)

score 1/10
