Food and science have been friendly bedfellows for decades. After all, bartenders are keen to study the art of mixology before they serve their first customer. New technology has completely revolutionized how we cook our food, with self-cleaning ovens, WiFi-enabled stovetops and air fryers present in many households. But science is all about the idea of change, the hypothesis being that bucking trends might lead to new discoveries from within. Enter “Lessons in Chemistry,” the new limited series from Apple TV+ that takes this concept and brings its streaming audience back to the 1960s with Academy Award-winner Brie Larson in the forefront.

    I’m finding “Lesson in Chemistry” very disappointing on Apple TV. It diverts too far from the book with its supporting characters and by doing so loses all of its satire and sarcasm. Why not make a series that actually follows this great book?
