The one thing that that the tv series does a little better than the book, is I feel like you really feel Gus and Calls friendship a bit more.
The series is great but the book obviously is better. That’s not controversial simply because of how much more detailed it is. But I will say that in the book, I didn’t really feel the “love” between call and Gus quite as much as in the series.their bickering mostly feels like bickering to me whereas in the series, I think it really helps to see call crack a smile every now and then. And it feels more like guys messing with each other.
In the book call really comes off as a stoic curmudgeon whereas in the tv series he definitely feels a bit more “normal” I suppose
