With My Brilliant Friend returning to Max today, September 9 2024, after a two-year wait, it got me thinking about other book-to-series adaptations available on the best streaming services. As you know, adaptations of books can be hit or miss, but there are three shows in particular on Max that have been highly credited – each with a score of over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Of course there are obvious ones like Game of Thrones, which we've included in our list of best Max shows, but I've decided to bring attention to series that may not have received the same amount of attention. And while the three I've selected have the book-to-series trait in common, each sits in the fantasy, supernatural, and historical categories, respectively.
