If you want to watch this series, you cannot view it as some sort of remake of the show or some form of book-turned-movie. They took the core story of Christiane and turned it into a series that in itself is very enjoyable and entertaining - but not true to the original story itself.
The acting is great, the visuals are amazing, same are the outfits and settings. But this show glorifies all the topics and problems the originals tried to warn about. Drugs, withdrawal, relapse, peer-pressure, prostitution. While the show was great and got me hooked from the start, it left a bitter after-taste to see it being so bright, colorful and the overall tone so happy knowing that there were real lives lost in Christiane's friend circle due to heroin.
