After watching the whole series, I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It's a really good show to binge as each episode left me wanting to watch another to find out what was going to happen next. I thought the show was well acted as well.
Now, I have not read the book (but I did read the synopsis, so I know that there is one main difference that seems to be riling some people up. I will say that this change doesnt bother me. I think it makes the series more ambiguous. Just as the parents will never truly know what happened that day, neither will us the audience. It puts us in their shoes. I think it's a change that works for the better. And I don't think it changes Lori's motivation at all.
Now that being said, I dont think the series was perfect. There was little things that I felt didnt really go anywhere, like Sarah befriending Jacob for instance. Or when the lawyers were discussing Matt's testimony right in front of Andy. Like, they wouldnt do that. And despite the fact that I liked the ending, I do think the last episode did have some pacing issues. But those are some minor complaints. I thought it was a well crafted show and would be deserving of nominations (whenever award shows get back on track).
