There's a TV show based on the books that I haven't seen yet, I imagine it's a difficult watch.
I saw the miniseries two years ago and while it was heartbreaking to watch, it was also heartwarming and wonderful. I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time. The book series has been on my list ever since but I haven't gotten to it yet.
From what you've written about the TV series it seems like it was adapted pretty well, the books definitely makes you both laugh and cry at times as well.
The biggest difference (I think? Again, as i havent watched it yet and only have what you've wrtten to go by) the TV series mostly focuses on Rasmus and Benjamin, the books also talk quite a bit about the friend group they make through Paul, but I imagine they had to pick a main focus when adapting it.
Oh, no, the found family and the tight-knit friend group is there, and the ending (where I laughed and cried at the same time) was very much about them.
