I don’t have Netflix anymore but this seems in line with Netflix. Would be great if an adaptation done today cared about the author’s vision. These companies could have some mega hit shows but decide that isn’t important

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou and The Fly are a couple of others that worked, and I'm seeing a pattern. It seems they only work when very loosely based on the original.
Edit: and could add The Thing to the list.
While Cronenberg's Fly is a superior movie it doesn't have Vincent Price's tiny head on a fly body tingling out "help me," in Chipmunk voice while stuck in a web as a spider approaches
I saw the fly after I saw the Simpsons reference to that on the Halloween episode
Same.
Forbidden Planet too. That was a reimagining of The Tempest I think
