The show keeps handing revelations that Dana had in the book to Kevin instead. Like, in the show, Kevin is the one who says they should pack a bag for next time, and Kevin is the one who suggests that they should try to influence Rufus while they're there so he doesn't become like his father, and if I'm getting pedantic, Kevin is the one who reassures Dana that she isn't insane when, in the book, she was certain of her own sanity pretty much the whole time. Idk, I dislike them taking Dana's pragmatic initiative away from her.

history/american history fans, PLEASE WATCH KINDRED ON HULU. i binged the whole first season when i was sick yesterday. it is genuinely the best historical/time travel/regency period drama i've watched. i wanna read the book now.

big tws though, it can be violent and very very stressful. normally tv doesnt bother me but i was fully flinching away at some of the scenes because the plot is about a Black woman who time travels to the regency era (?im p sure lolll 1818 ish??) to a plantation where they think she's enslaved. on the other side of this same coin is that 👏 THEY DONT SHY AWAY FROM THE HORRIBLE REALITY 👏 and it is so important.
