After having read the complex and interesting Hugo award winning novel, I had high hopes for the 4 part miniseries. Alas, the screen adaptation needlessly departs from the tight, well thought out plotting of the novel to introduce a distracting and implausible Hollywood romance element, confusing flashbacks while garbling the plot.
The book requires acceptance of only a single premise: that two cities exist side by side with strict prohibitions on interactions between the two.
Do yourself a favor and skip the miniseries and read the book.
