The Netflix miniseries ‘De Eetclub’ (The Gastronomic Club), based on a novel by Saskia Noort, has seen significant attention following its release. The adaptation features several departures from the original book, such as reducing the character count from ten to eight and altering specific character backgrounds, including making Patricia extremely wealthy and changing Karin’s profession to an editor-in-chief.

The seven-episode series follows Karen, who moves to Bergen and joins an exclusive social circle of four wealthy couples. The group’s dynamics are disrupted by a house fire that kills a member named Evert, leading to an investigation that reveals infidelity, family secrets, and questionable business dealings.

Following its release, the production achieved global viewership, reaching 4.1 million views in its first week and entering the Top 10 in 58 countries.
