The new fantasy series "Shadow and Bone" receives a lot of praise.
But not all viewers are completely satisfied with the Netflix original.
The Netflix series
“Shadow and Bone” was
rated
8.0 out of a possible 10 stars
on
IMDb
(as of May 5, 2021).
This makes the production far better than many other originals.
For example, "The Baker Street Gang" only got 5.8 stars.
Probably the bad reviews are a reason why Netflix recently canceled the series *.
Regarding "Shadow and Bone" an early end of the series seems unlikely at the moment.
Netflix has not yet officially confirmed a second season, but the positive reviews definitely speak for new episodes.
In between all the hymns of praise, however, individual viewers also speak out with criticism.
For example, a scene is up for discussion that deviates significantly from the original book - something that fans of the novels can sometimes not understand.

"Shadow and Bone" on Netflix: Creators have changed an important book scene
"It's really horrific," says lead actress Jessie Mei Li in an interview with
Entertainment Tonight
. With this statement she is referring to a series scene in which her character Alina Starkov has a deer antler operated on her collarbone. The horns then protrude from under their skin. With this intervention, General Kirigan wants to ensure that her magical powers are enhanced. Alina is still not enthusiastic about it. According to Mei Li's statements, this twist should be seen positively in relation to the plot: “I think this scene is particularly important for the characters Alina and Kirigan and their relationship to one another. After this event, nothing will be the same for both of them. "
In the book, Alina only gets the deer antlers on as a chain.
If the creators had implemented the idea according to the novel, there would have been problems with the costumes, showrunner Eric Heisserer told
Entertainment Tonight
.
In addition, Alina's opponents could easily have stolen her chain.
So that it doesn't get that far, it was necessary to put the power amplifier under her skin.

"Shadow and Bone": Not all Netflix users like the change
Individual Reddit users let their disappointment with the scene run wild. For example, the user Chasmosaur wrote that the change was possibly only implemented
to shock the audience
. In addition, the decision of the makers is also problematic with regard to the course of the plot. Alina gets another power amplifier in the books, which she puts around her wrist as a bracelet. If the scriptwriters stick to their own logic, this subject would also have to wander under the skin of the series heroine. Whether it comes to this or not, the viewers may only find out in the coming seasons - if they are shot.
