S04E03 — The Sheep Detectives

So before we go into all that, what did we like that's the same from book

to film?

I would like to just say I... we'll get into it it it lost its uh charm a little bit but the sheep being so earnest in their pursuit of solving george's murder and yet so very adorably wrong i actually did like that it got old by the end but i thought it was very cute are you talking about in the in the novel In both.

In both? Yeah, in the novel, I was like over by the end.

Yeah.

In the movie, I don't think it was annoying because the movie was only so long.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What I liked about the adaptation that was not different, I liked the fact that the sheep were the investigators.

And because they had heard about that, they had the mysteries read to them that they thought they could solve it.

And I thought that's the same kind of thing.

And that was fun.

I like the fact that the movie kept George being a little saucy.

Like, the book...

Like, I...

I wondered

because, you know, he loved the sheep and was completely, you know, compassionate to them and kind to them.

But the people in the town he had issues with, so he wasn't just kind of this pushover guy.

And I liked that because in the book it portrayed him similarly.

He wasn't just friendly with everybody, right? Um, yeah, he had issues and, you know, give or give, take that for what it was.

But I like the fact that they kept him like that.

For one, it beefed up the murder mystery part that so many, you know, they, they all had some motive going on that you could easily derive or whatever, but.

What I liked about this adaptation that was taken from the book, probably my favorite part of the book was the beginning, the first chapter where you're just getting to know the sheep and the tone of the story and everything.

What I got, and this is a little, maybe this is pretentious, but what I enjoyed about it was that it was like the death of George.
