I understand that transferring a novel to a movie requires a certain level of adaptation. Some characters disappear to shorten its lenght, some locations change for opportunity or budget reasons, the traits of some characters change in favor of a better narrative or visual development, etc. The authors even deem it appropriate to introduce some changes to the original story to improve it, play with another kind of outcome, or even due to marketing or production suggestions. In general, I accept it whilst obviously maintaining a critical mind about the benefits or damages of such an adaptation.
In this case I honestly don't understand what happened at the end of the story. This is about a psychiatrist with a Münchhausen disorder who, after the (supposed) death of his daughter, becomes depressed, loses contact with reality and finally enters into a coma, which is taken as an advantage by another colleague to treat him through a risky therapy, aiming to discover what happened to the girl and why.
However... I felt something was wrong and I had to reread the book's ending. Yes!, the ultimate cause of all this drama rests in the wife, who hides the facts, practically kidnaps her daughter and thus generates the terrible downhill process that the father subsequently suffers. Definitely, she should be arrested and, indeed, that is what happens in the novel (where it is also reported that she took advantage of the situation by improperly claiming all of her spouse's assets).
But in the series, the only sanction lies on the (bad) father who must fully acknowledge his guilt without mediatizing the fact that he is/was still a treatable psychiatric patient that was intentionally driven to insanity.
Did anyone dislike the idea that Isabell ended up in jail? Fitzek decided it was ok? Well, in my opinion, this is a relevant flaw.
The rest is ok, If you like this kind of drama, I recommend it. However, it is a bit too slow, and you may be a little confused with the time sequence between scenes. But, that's the author's style and goal.
