Whether it’s been a while since you last read Butler’s novel and can’t remember for certain if a character or subplot was part of the original story, or whether you’ve never read the book and is just curious about the changes made, here are the main differences between the televised and the literary versions of Kindred.īut if you're both a show-watcher and a book reader, the last thing on your mind about Dana’s family is why she doesn’t get along with her aunt and uncle. ![]() From the time period in which part of the story takes place to the introduction of entirely new characters, Kindred the TV series has a lot in common with Kindred the book, but there’s also a fair share of brand-new details and storylines for viewers to enjoy. But not all changes to the show’s source material have to do with stretching it out. Thus, it is no wonder that Jacobs-Jenkins had to stretch a few passages out and change a thing or two to make the story more format-friendly. With a total of eight episodes, all of which are available to stream, Kindred Season 1 covers about a third of Butler’s original work - a novel of about 250 to 300 pages, depending on the edition. ![]()
