Had no idea this was adapted into a tv show!

The book is AMAZING. I don't really read non-fiction but this book is incredible. I'm honestly planning on buying a copy for everyone for Christmas lol

I knew this adaptation was coming, but I didn't know it was so soon! And the book is still sitting unread on my shelf 😬 sry to these ancestors

The book is fantastic. I highly recommend the audiobook if the length feels too intimidating.

Tbh I can already feel that there's going to be a glamourization of what happened and I bet they're going to excise all references to socialism and anti-capitalist critique.

Oh very cool. I absolutely loved the book. I'm a big fan of Patrick Raden Keefe's work.

I love Maxine Peake and Lola Petticrew. Lola did a really cute movie calling Dating Amber about two gay kids in the mid-90s who pretend to date until they can leave their small Irish town. It's so charming.
