It's pretty decent, at least will hold me over until the next season of The Expanse.

If ever wanted to see James Purefoy naked in a Sci Fi setting you will enjoy this TV series.

The series is sort of a mess especially near the end but all the things like the more unsettling stuff make up for it.

lmao at all the pearl clutching articles crying about the violence and whitewashing in the show.

Book Scene X was better than in the TV Series.

Overall an enjoyable if sometimes clumsy adaptation, but oooh boy was the last episode a steaming pile of poo poo. That loving katana duel, Lizzie ex Machina, BCPD riding to the rescue, that x-tra cheesy sequel hook, the entirety of tv-Rei and Quell really...

All the good stuff, bits of charaterization or entire scenes, are lifted straight from the novel. Every time the tv team decided to stretch its writing muscles it ends up sabotaging the rest of the show. OK, I'll give you Abuela über alles.
Still, it doesn't fill me with great confidence regarding eventual adaptations of the other two books if they keep departing from the base material.

it does pretty much run of the steam at the end but I still enjoyed the bleak setting & atmosphere of the show.

The quality of TV IV posters is not high compared to goon norms.

the same people create thousand page threads dedicated to doing SMG analysis on cartoon series targeted at children

Don’t get me wrong. In general, despite ep 7 and other glaring flaws, I *liked* the show. It’s just there’s a lot of mis-steps and inexplicable changes that keep it from being truly great. Also, there’s frustration that because of this they’ve completely hosed themselves in making any kind of decent adaptation of the other two books.

Plus would be challenging since the rest of the books have a big tone shift to being military syfy.

Yeah, the fact that someone on the creative team is huffing their own farts regarding the Quell Bad YA Novel stuff is not encouraging.

The part of the series that everyone liked the most!

And yet the show tried to turn them into Jedi

Jedi were incels who didn't have any interest in sexy time or mexican chicks
