Me too. It's been long enough since I read the books that "no book spoilers" is pretty moot as a caution for me, but I get the impression that the show might also be diverging pretty far from the books too at this point? It's got the same themes and stuff but there was a development in this episode that made me sit up and go "wait, that didn't happen."
But if so, I actually like this new development compared to how I remembered it go in the original books.
That's good to hear.
I've been delaying watching it for a while, in part due to how critical people were.
Perhaps that's silly, given my expectations aren't that high. I just want a fun show to fall asleep to. Every show doesn't need to be The Expanse or Counterpart.
Yeah. It's only been two episodes so far, but even though there are currently three unconnected storylines going on (the castaways on the water planet, the activities of the Foundation on and around Terminus, and what Cleons are up to on Trantor) they still feel more "united" than the separate storylines in the first season did. Seems like they may have listened to critiques of the first season and adapted to some of it.
