Definitely, although luckily on that note I feel like they're recently doing a better job with book-to-series? (not a rule, of course -- i'm looking at you, game of thrones). Like, sure it's not the same thing but it's not BAD either, just... different canon.
For example, shadowhunters/the mortal instruments - though i must admit that i never finished the books bc i couldn't stomach the writing style - was nicely adapted in a show that finally made use of the worldbuilding in a way that made sense, although the plot just went... off. Or like, good omens: i liked the mini-series but it's a very different animal from the book under a number of aspects. Or again -- I'm currently reading the books that inspired the witcher games and netflix show: there's a few parts where im like "oh thank god they changed this part" and some others where im like "oh, damn i liked the episode but this is interesting too!"
