Personally I kinda liked the first season. It’s better if you forget the original Asimov story and just watch it as its own thing because it diverges from it quite a bit.

Looking forward to see where they go after that ballsy season 1 ending. Lee Pace will continue to kill it no doubt.
I agree! I enjoy it in the same way I enjoy the Hitchhiker’s Guide movie. Is it the same story? No. Is it still good? Absolutely
Yeah. I’m not a fan of this “in name only” practice. And being a fan of the books, and the greater Asimov universe, I did struggle at first.
Once I accepted how completely they were going to abandon the original, I did manage to enjoy what they did produce. It wasn’t weaker so much as just a completely different beast.
Going into S2 with this expectation, if the quality is as high as in S1, it should be well worth a watch.
(I can’t say the same of Wheel of Time. The TV series is just weaker, it’s a mess, a bigger mess than the first book which definitely had its issues. Damn shame, I really was hoping for an attempt to stay closer to the source without Rafe ‘updating it’ for what he thinks Jordan would have written today)
The worst was the Without Remorse movie. It wasn’t bad, bit it had almost nothing to do with the book it was supposedly based on
