As books it was the best SF series for me, it still is. But they would have to pay me to continue to watch this TV series. I was very sad as a result of watching the first 10 episodes.

If you ignore the books, it was not that bad.

But Apple's more "contained" sci fi series like Severance and Silo feel more grounded.

Agree! But how could I ignore the books, given I love them so much?

Then maybe it's recommendation for people who haven't read it

When I started watching the expanse TV series, some parts were OK but then there were 100 page of holding breath drama and effects converted into a 10 min basic scene, I was afraid of replacing "my" world and characters
