Netflix Hit: Is 'People We Meet' Too Short?

Netflix's adaptation of Emily Henry's novel, 'People We Meet on Vacation,' has captured the top spot on the streaming platform's movie charts. The film, starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth, follows the evolving relationship of two friends through their annual vacations.

However, the movie has sparked a significant debate among viewers. Many are vocal on social media, suggesting that the romantic narrative would have been more effectively told as a miniseries. This sentiment echoes comparisons to recent successful Netflix adaptations that adopted a longer, episodic format.

While the film enjoys a prominent position on Netflix, criticisms regarding its pacing and emotional depth persist. Some viewers feel that too much content was omitted from the source material, contributing to a disjointed viewing experience. Nevertheless, the film's current number one ranking indicates strong audience engagement.
