Right there with you!
Before the movie, I'd read the book with no idea about plot/anything except "by the Remains Of the Day" author.

FUCKING WRECKED by the last chapters. (Beautifully done obv, 100% do rec reading for anyone who hasn't, just... wow & oof.)

Can def see TV working better then the film, because the slow reveals & character-building events almost felt underdeveloped in the film, vs the book. A limited series would allow similar plot points to be appropriately devastating, beautiful, poignant, all the things—more fully & deliberately.
