The show is well named. Season 1's story scope expands incredibly out from the initial mystery.

  As a book reader i enjoyed the show a lot. But when I now see YouTube reactors I enjoy so much how clueless they are at any stage of the show. Every week an expanded view of the story reveals to them but the result: They know nothing :)

I found that they completely butchered my favorite characters from the book series. Holden is way over the top macho and gets in "check out my ego" screaming matches with folks all the time, Bobby is at least emotionally a weak-willed little girl who lets herself get bossed around by everyone, and especially male authority figues. Etc. Their interpretation of the character gallery was really disappointing. The books' authors have made some really cool non-heteronormative and super competent characters, which is one of the many aspects of the series that I really enjoyed. Does this get better in the latter seasons that were produced by Amazon?

  Indeed, Holden was crap in the first season; much improved later, so definitely can recommend continuing to watch it.

  Overall they improved characters. Ashford is a cartoon in the books but is absolutely delightful and interesting on the show. Drummer barely exists in the books and might be my favorite show character.

  Bobbie taking over the luxury ship with her power armour is in my top 10 book moments. > You use a welding rig to weld things. You use a gun to shoot things. You use a Bobbie Draper to fuck a bunch of bad guys permanently up. (Babylon's Ashes) In the series though. Meh.
