My comment was the one this secret is based off of and frankly, I'm sorry you're tired of hearing about it but other people are allowed to dislike things. No it's not performative-- I was super looking forward to this adaptation in fact, I bought an Amazon Prime free trial and a Roku just so I could watch it in my living room on the big TV instead of my computer. I loved Aziraphale and Crowley and thought their stuff was great. But the adaptation could have been so much better and I disagree with several of the decisions made, particularly with the characters who weren't Aziraphale and Crowley (who may be the most memorable characters in the book but they are not the *only* leads. They were the leads of the adaptation, and I think it weakened the story as a whole for me). I didn't hate the adaptation -- this wasn't like Netflix's Watership Down adaptation which I hated so much I couldn't finish -- but it wasn't what I was hoping for, and I'm allowed to be bummed that the thing I was waiting eagerly for didn't live up to my favorite book.
