Me personally? I did not care for Game of Thrones.

The Expanse. Watched all of or at least most of the first season; it didn't grab me. Partly because it just was a bit slow (I hear it got way better by S3) but also because I happened to get into Altered Carbon around the same time and it grabbed my attention more.

I probably should give The Expanse another shot.

    I enjoyed it a lot, but it's not perfect because either the combo of writing or acting from the main crew is pretty bland. All the other side characters are fucking phenomenal though. I don't get it.

    I want to read the books to see if it's the same.

    The show stays really close to the books, to the point that I had constant déjà vus while watching the show after reading the books (some scenes were really close to how I imagined them while reading). But, while I liked the show, I must say that the pacing was off. I often had to force myself to watch some episodes, and I only did it because I knew the payoff (a few episodes later) was worth it.

    I started watching it with my wife, she loved it at first (she likes crime stories, so the detective storyline helped her get into the show) but she didn't want to continue past the third season.

    I finished the entire series and I liked it overall, but I agree it's not perfect.
