Binged "Der Schwarm" (aka "The Swarm") the 8-episode miniseries done in Europe based on the fantastic novel by Frank Schätzing.

Some of the novel simply isn't filmable, but I was truly amazed how true they stayed to the plot until the last episode. The last episode goes in a very different direction to potentially build a season 2, which the book does not do.

There shouldn't be another season. The novel ends, so should the show.

But it was a good watch all in all.

One other big difference between the Novel and the TV Series:

In the novel the United States is a major player in the locations and chain of events.

In the TV Series the US doesn't even play a part. There are major players and locations in the US in the Novel. The places have ALL been relocated, and most of the American roles have simply been written out as unnecessary.

As an American myself, I think this was a good move. Gives a real look at how the grownups deal with environmental issues..
