... hm, to me they did reel like real kids. Who are sometimes rude and even mean to each other at the same time that they're inseparable.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't have any objections. They seemed like friends to me.

Same. It's been a while since I read the book, but I thought the POVs were a little more balanced out. The adaptation felt more like Crowley and Aziraphale's love story with the apocalypse as a subplot.

[(Anonymous)]

It really was, it felt like a love-letter to the shippers and little else.

I actually felt like they felt like an incredibly real group of ‘friend kids’? Who don’t always have the emotional intelligence to use their words and who are deep in the ‘well you’re not coming to my birthday party’ days. I totally get what you mean, but I think it was a strength that I didn’t realise was missing from how I’d interpreted the book.

Yup. This. Is this my comment made into a secret? I felt the same - they seemed like four kids sort of pushed together, not four super-good friends.

[(Anonymous)]

They never looked like they were having fun hanging out. I can see that in a small town, anything to do at all is better than nothing, but I don't think any of them smiled much while doing anything? And as someone who doesn't even like kids much, I feel like they're usually a lot more open to smiling than adults, so it felt weird.

[(Anonymous)]

Their group relationship wasn't dissimilar to the friends I had in my immediate neighborhood growing up, where we hung out due to geographic convenience, i.e. not quite the same as the close relationships I had with the couple of best friends I had as a child, who all lived one or two neighborhoods over and I only ever spent time with them one-on-one until teenager-hood. I thought it was realistic in that way.

[(Anonymous)]

They're what... 11? All kids are assholes around middle school age. Seemed like the most realistic portrayal of a tween friend group I've ever seen. If your friendships at that age were different you're either lucky or wearing rose tinted glasses.
