Just because the show is based on a novel doesn't render it inapplicable as a visual tool in a variety of subjects at the collegiate level. Each episode has been loaded with a tremendous amount of offshoot historical subtext and references. Far too much to cover here, in fact.
And in terms of the depth and psyche of these characters, I do believe it is remarkably crafted by screenwriter and showrunner Misha Green. Overall, the series definitely sets itself apart from a storytelling standpoint.
