Tell me a movie or TV show that was better (bonus points if WAY better) than the book(s).

Altered Carbon.

The TV show trimmed things that leaded the book, making more fun.

The worst change was the wife of the meth: in the TV show, the actress was around 40; in the book, she had the body of a 17 years old girl, which made things much, much more creepy, reinforcing the idea that the meth were terrible people.
