Hmm. I thought the first season was cool, and very well acted, well scored, etc...but had very little in common with the book series. Should be interesting to see what direction the show goes in.
Now I can't get the emporer's theme out of my head.
- madengr 3y ago> but had very little in common with the book series Which was why it was crap. I couldn't watch pat the first episode.
- fsdjkflsjfsoij 3y agoThe best parts of the show were the original parts that focused on the Empire and Lee Pace did a great job as Brother Day. The show dropped off hard whenever it focused on the actual settlement on Terminus and it remained extremely unfaithful to the books all the way through.
- ChubbyGlasses 3y agoI loved the show and picked up the book afterwards (still working my way through it), and ya I think you're right to some extent, but the show feels more additive than reductive; the book, as it is, would not adopt well for television, and the more human stories felt like a nice addition for me without straying too far away from the book's story. Arrival felt like it was in a similar boat where it was adapted for the movie-medium and, IMO, much better for it.
