There’s also a deliberately unhurried pace, allowing viewers time to absorb the nuances of the relationships, to focus on the characters’ expressions, gestures and silences. Perhaps anticipating the criticism that it’s another dive into the petty problems of privileged white folk is the casting of Bobbi as a black expat New Yorker. And again there’s a European vacation, this time a fourth-episode trip to coastal Croatia (changed from the French countryside in the book).
