As the article stated though, they aren't really the same story and don't share continuity. The show is good but it's not an adaptation of the film in any meaningful way.
- adetrest 8y agoExactly, the show was ok but the film is much better. While the show takes place in a similar universe, it's not a continuity.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoThe opposite is true to me. The film was OK, but the show was excellent.
- stevenwoo 8y agoI rewatched both 12 Monkeys the film and Brazil and they both share an incredibly unbelievable romance - in the first the scientist falls in love with a homeless man and kisses him passionately over the span of about 10 minutes of screen time after thinking he was insane and finding proof he was a time traveler (homeless people are humans, too, but if Cole had been living like a homeless person long enough to appear like that he would have had a pretty foul odor) and in Brazil, Sam Lowry and the female lead are arguing and he singled handedly ends her career and in the next(?) scene we see them together they are in bed pre/post consummation ( though of course that scene makes more sense if it's only in his head after we watch the end of the movie). The TV series also manages to top Brad Pitt's crazy guy, that I thought was going to be impossible after hearing about the TV series initially.
- Cyph0n 8y agoI got the impression that the plague arc early in the show was an adaptation of the film — sharing several key characters — but the rest of it was not covered by the film. And if you watch the last season of the series, you get to see an adaptation of the ending of the movie. Anyways, I think the series was excellent, even on its own.
