Watched the BBC version currently on Netflix. Four episodes.
One major change is that we find out Piggy's real name - and like Chekhov's gun, it is used later.
Also, Piggy doesn't end up dying after getting hit by a boulder and going over a cliff. It's more of a fever from an infection and dies in Ralph's arms. And Ralph buries him.
So, there are some major liberties taken.
It was worth the watch.
Lord of the Flies (spoiler alert)
