Now that we belatedly got over an irrational prejudice against streaming and finally subscribed to Netflix—and then variously to a combination of Acorn, BritBox, AppleTV, etc.—we almost never turn on the TV to watch regular network or cable programs.
I found myself just wanting to read the Atticus Pünd story for Magpie Murders, but for Moonflower I thought both were super compelling!! Have not seen the show but definitely want to get on it
That's very interesting! Perhaps we're getting more attached to Susan Ryeland's character as the series progresses? I also wonder about how readers/viewers might respond to the fact that each new Susan Ryeland entry moves us further along in her story (ie, the latest with her life and relationships) but the Atticus Pünd character moves in and out of time sequence. For instance, the second entry traced a story from earlier in Pünd's life and career than did the first novel.
Of the two, perhaps only Susan Ryeland has the potential for moving forward in time and allowing us to grow with her (in the fictional sense, of course)... ;-)

Thanks for your comment!
Oooh I think that's definitely true, like we get to see Susan develop and grow and for Atticus he's more static?
