Wife was ready for Pearl, so Pearl we watched. While X stayed at 4.5, I'm doing it...I'm bumping Pearl up to a 5. Golly, those last 25-or-so minutes just hit so hard.

As for my wife, she gives Pearl a 4, liked it more than X.

Three hours that just fly by like nothing. So many fun moments, and a few heavier moments presented with such light touches so as to not be total bummers.
Just a really really great little adaptation.

I liked it!
