I just finished book 6 of the expanse. I live this series so much! I love great hard magic systems which this is, and the author is a bit Frederick Backman esk with how well his writing gets me to feel the emotions and moments of the characters.

I've tried to watch the TV show and quit after the first season. I was just so confused. Once I finish the books later this year I'm gonna watch the series to the end of it.

I would hope the characters are well written, seeing as they just crib them from the books that are already written.

And I saw the show. I watched the first episode. If they screw it up that badly on the first one, that's all that's needed to know.

    That's fair enough I guess. I would say you are, and I mean this quite literally, the FIRST person I have ever seen that read the books and think the show is awful. So maybe you should give it more than one episode to hook you. It took me 3 episodes before it truly grabbed me and I couldn't stop.
