They got complex and layered story and simplified to a huge extent.
Considering her situation and her background, things happened WAY too easy and too fast to her. Netflix opted for the fairy tale approach instead of realism, that is a pity. It could have been much stronger.
There are things that the audience cannot ignore: How can someone so naive (as she is portrayed) be homeless but always clean and never hungry? She made those friends literally minutes after her mother didn't answer the door. The Arabic speaking well-educated man who works in a music academy just gives her a ham sandwich.
It is still an interesting story but there is so much potential lost. It should have been a regular series with more episodes, providing the opportunity to explore her life in NY and then her journey in Europe.
