Take Harry Potter for example. The first movie did leave a lot out of the first book. So I'm expecting the TV series have a have a lot of what was left out in the TV series.

Another example is A Series of Unfortunate Events. The movie was nothing great. But the TV show was able to flush out the books and do a much better job of telling the story because there was more time to do so. The TV show did the books justice while the movie did not.
