@@mouse-o5z Yeah, Coz I think Eric said that they signed for about 8 seasons, I might be misquoting but I think they're gonna make s&b encompass the whole world and the progression of the novels
It is so rare that a book series gets adapted and even rarer for that adaptation to do the books justice like the Shadow and Bone series did. I absolutely loved how it turned out!!
@@Madd1eKate That's an impossible choice to make😭 They've made so much fantastic stuff there's no way I could pick. That's why I say that that show isn't the best. If it was a few shows I could rank them but with so many that they've put out I can't choose.
Shadow & Bone is definitely the best YA fantasy book adaptation Netflix has ever done, but I wouldn't say it's better than shows like Queen's Gambit and The Crown.
I really want them to adapt SoC seperatly from S&B, I need the crows in action with no distractions with Alina. All the screentime they got in the show wasn't enough for me
Oh yes please~ I watch reaction vids for shows all the time but none of the channels I watch will probably react to this show so I need Cindy to react!!
I completely agree! I really hope there is a S2, it is such a well written and performed series and I can’t wait to see how the characters continue to develop.
I still cannot grasp the fact that this is one of the most perfect adaptations I have ever seen. It elevates the source material instead of totally changing everything (looking at you, Chaos Walking, still heartbroken about that.)
Honestly, it’s terrifying to be so vulnerable with something you can be so sensitive about but honestly- fuck it. Leigh is so right, scared artists create bad art. Might as well write from the heart and soul then waste time being afraid
It is so rare to me that book adaptations show the characters so well, usually from a lack of time, some side characters are dismissed or some characters lack the personality they have in the books because that “one joke” couldn’t fit into the story. Because this was an entire season, shadow and bone was able to do this, but they showed the characters better than I ever thought a book adaptation could. I didn’t expect genya and zoya to have so much depth (like the scene with zoya and the darkling really showing how manipulative he was to not just Alina), I didn’t expect so many side characters to have their chance to shine and show non readers who these characters are, but shadow and bone did that. Book adaptations aren’t about telling the story exactly from the book, but they’re about keeping the core of the story and the core of the characters, and this show did that beautifully
@@Ozlem91734 you're probably right and even if it will be hard to sit tight I would rather wait a few years knowing that they make it high quality instead of just throwing something together.
i'll literally cancel my subscription if yall don't renew for another 3 seasons AT LEAST. i wanna see the six of crows and crooked kingdom storylines ON THEIR OWN OWN i beg u
I would rewatch it. I was confused on the first few episodes with the Crows in it but I think its genius. Hence, will rewatch it and enjoying it again!
Its so amazing how season 1 has just scratched the surface for Six of Crows. The real big deal is yet to be adapted but I am absolutely positive it will be the best series ever to be made❤❤ We are all blessed with amazing Cast and team. Thank you Netflix. You made my life so much happier.
IMO S&B was the superior adaption. They made too many changes & bad casting choices when it came to TATBILB where as with S&B it was just really really well done and the characters felt like the characters, and Eric & Leigh's collaboration just took the story and brought it to life in the best way.
It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. I've loved your books for so long, and seeing all your characters in person was life-changing for me! Thank you for creating such a wonderful world of Grisha :)
I think Shadow and Bone is one of the BEST adaptations of a material i have seen in a loong time. It really elevates the material with the social commentary and the politic intrigue and also to show us some things that are only told in the book, like Mals journey and also the story of the Darkling, its simply amazing
If when this happens to acotar and if cindy would appear to ask questions i would laugh my arse off. Nobody gets does she absolutely hates acotar or is obsessed with it.
To All the Boys has had a special place in my heart for years, and I've been having tons of fun being a new fan of Shadow and Bone! I bought the books recently just to watch the show lol
It was this thing exclusive to the readers but now it’s becoming this bigger thing, available to a larger audience that’s gonna judge it based off of the show; something completely different. Seeing this just makes it so much more real and scares me cuz there are people who know this thing but haven’t read the books so they’ve had a completely different experience than I’ve had and I could be talking about the same thing yet something completely different now.
I'm a writer in-progress and this video is really meaningful to me and I think also for other writers as well. Our books are a part of ourselves, seeing all the hard work paid off is amazing
This was so beautiful, both of these authors(books/adaptations) just saved my life and soul during this quarantine😭❤️ I’m so thankful for the authors and Netflix to bring out the characters that we love into real world ❤️😭
I just finished my first watch of Shadow and Bone (will rewatch the whole thing again and again✨) and honestly, I'm so emotional. Recently, I got the book and started reading it and managed to finished it before the show, and this has been one of those magical moments I'll look back to very often from now on. The book to screen adaptation is SO good! The show gives so much humanity to the characters and gahhh the casting is PERFECT. I love screen Mal way more than book Mal that's for sure😹 and you can clearly feel good writing, effort, and thought are given when they're crafting Shadow and Bone into a tv series. This is also probably the first time ever that I truly truly truly felt the wonders and necessity we need for diversity. Seeing Jessie as Alina on screen like this made me so emotional: I see myself in her. This is the first time that I, as a long-time lover of fantasy materials, felt not only included, but empowered. I plan to make some videos about Shadow and Bone on my channel because it has changed my life in a sense. I've been going through something rough in life and reading this book and watching the show have guided me through my own shadow fold in my life. And I know I'll be ok and light will prevail.❤️ Hope you're all doing well! (And OMG isn't Ben Barnes amazing as the Darkling? Those who said he can't pull it off, please line up over there and repent your sins to the Saints.)
what i was most impressed with was how they altered some of the events from the book to screen in such a way that it would have actually appeared canon in the books.....like the crows being at the grisha party..although the crows were never mentioned in the shadow and bone books looking back it would be plausible that they were at the party cause there was nothing to contradict..also the crows ending up being the occupants of the wagon that alina ran off in...there were moments they altered in a smart way and although not all of them could be said to be canon to the books ( for example meeting zoya and mal way earlier than in the books...some moments brought about how some of the characters met like how nina met the crows..i'm really excited for how season 2 turns out
As many fans, I was incredibly sceptical about the show when I heard they were combining the series. But having watched the show I am SO HAPPY with the outcome and I was no way disappointed that the show didn’t match the books!! The cast were spot on and I loved they went all out with CGI and sets etc. I binged watch the episodes in one sitting and I CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 2 🤞🏻🤞🏻😍😍
Leigh, your books have changed my life. Thank you for creating the grishaverse and all the beautiful characters within them, I can't express how I much I love them and what they mean to me -
This got me so emotional, I'm so so happy for Leigh and grateful that she put these stories out in the world and all I hope is this show has a good run and people can appreciate the brilliance of this queen
I love that Shadow and Bone really had a good budget and you could see the quality. I like how it isn't mostly a typical romance but plot and action driven.
This tv show was honestly the best movie/ series watching experience I've ever had (yes, better than Harry Potter). The actors were spectacular, the source material out of this world and the storytelling: perfect! I was jumping up and down at times because i could't contain the joy of seeing these characters realized on screen so well. Although Shadow and Bone came out during the height of my ya reading journey,I sadly was never able to fall in love with the books. Not because they aren't well written or unique and interesting but because the Darkling hype and idolization scared the crap out of me. Here was that toxic, abusive, scary old man and the whole fandom of teens lusted after him because he was supposedly hot? Even 15 year-old me recognized that something was off with that. Ben Barnes brought the Darkling to live in a way that both scared, entertained and confused me by somehow making it hot? The Six of crows part of the show as (in my opinion) even better. I still can't get over how well Matthias and Nina's relationship was portrayed, even with the tiny amount of screen time allocated to them. And don't even get me started on the Ineg-Kaz dynamic! Absolute perfection. All these actors surpassed even my most optimistic expectations for this TV show.
i completely agree with the actors changing the characters because i hated mal in the books (i was a big alinaxnikolai shipper) but the show made me actually like mal
They really made it with the adaptation, I didn't know I needed interaction between Kaz and the Darkling until I saw it on screen. It was amazing to see the characters interacting on screen when it never happened in the books 🖤🖤
Actually I felt this way throughout the entire show. They gave me so much things I didn't know to need: darkling vs kaz, inej vs darkling, mal vs darkling, MAL, half shu alina, fedyor and ivan together, MILO, jesper vs volcra... Basically the entire show!
Thank you Netflix for making some of my favorite movies and shows!! I love To All The Boys and Shadow and Bone so much. Honestly, now, I’d trust you guys with all of my fave YA books. Please adapt more. 🥰
“I wanted to die horribly” killed me😂 I was like what the heck??!💙💙 love watching this because this is my dream too. To have my book adapted into film 💙
I've read Shadow & Bones trilogy in 2014 and TATBILB in 2015. I enjoyed these 2 series immensely and they are one of my many favorites. As a YA reader, when your favorite books are being adapted, there will always be an apprehension if the adaptation will not meet your expectations but with these 2 series, they've done a great job. *expectations exceeded*
I love both of these authors and their works so much! They're great people and writers and it's wonderful to see them interact. I'm obsessed with the Grishaverse and the show and cast is incredible! (Now I can't wait for Jenny's Summer I Turned Pretty tv adaptation!)
Adaption of books are successful when the audience not only enjoys the show/movie but wants to read the actual source. I had no idea about Shadow and Bone, it was so hyped..but thankfully the series is WORTH the hype,, and soo intrigued about the 6 of crows more than the actual "shadow and Bone"...for All the Boys I loved before series--- I love the movies..haven't even read the books yet..
If Netflix doesn't renew shadow and bone I'm deleting it.

Adaption of books are successful when the audience not only enjoys the show/movie but wants to read the actual source. I had no idea about Shadow and Bone, it was so hyped..but thankfully the series is WORTH the hype,, and soo intrigued about the 6 of crows more than the actual "shadow and Bone"...for All the Boys I loved before series--- I love the movies..haven't even read the books yet..
4:53 hey it's cindy!
Okay but can we talk about Leigh's rings? They're gorgeous!!!
I need to finish reacting to the show and reading the books, both of which have been amazing!! This goes in the Watch for later folder 👍🏻🤣
OMG I DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE SAM AND CINDY HERE?!?
Hey, Netflix, this is a GREAT idea! Keep up the idea of keeping authors INVOLVED IN THE PROJECTS.
