The NASA/SpaceX guys like it because there are nods to actual physics in the show .

Are the books worth reading if I have watched the show and enjoyed it or does the series stick close enough to the source material that I won't gain much more from it?

Quote HistoryQuoted: what does this show compare to in other sci-fi? Good-for television-story, though if you read a lot of sci fi you wont run into a lot new to you. A lot of ridiculous woke bullshit, some of which is bad enough to break immersion Really good special effects Casting ranges from pretty bad to pretty good. None of the main cast is much, except one whose pretty good |

The hardest part is getting people through the first half of Season One. It's several different stories being told that are seemingly unrelated, and it gets a little Game of Thrones-ish where you forget what was happening in one plot by the time you get back to it.
After they weave those plots and characters together, it REALLY takes off. I've powered a couple of friends through that bump and they became big fans. |

 I love the symbolism in the show. Earth is the "old world" with all it it's problems and it's dying because of 30+ billion people. Mars is the "new world" full of fresh idealistic people, but still struggling to find it's way. The belters/outers are "the third world" exploited by the inners but they are more powerful than they know. Then the ring appears and the expanse suddenly gets a whole lot bigger!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Supposed to be first 3 then weekly really? weekly? I guess I'll have to renew prime, was hoping to get it all in before the new year. This is the 1st time I've seen it in 4K, watched the early seasons on sci-fi then kodi last. Never noticed how special the effects were until tonight. Will probably go back and watch s1-4 again now. |

I can't believe anybody claiming that this is marxist, Palestinian propaganda actually watches the show. I'm on episode two of the new season, and once again a solid 70% of the belters are total assholes. Just like all the previous seasons.
I've read the books so I know roughly what this season should include, and I think Bull (new character, Tycho Station ops manager) just summarized the new season, maybe the whole series. "You know what your problem is? You think just because somebody's the underdog they're the good guys." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are the books worth reading if I have watched the show and enjoyed it or does the series stick close enough to the source material that I won't gain much more from it? I can’t speak to to series because I haven’t watched it, but the books are good. I’ve finished all 8 of them, and I’m waiting for the finale before starting the series. From what I gather, the series roughly covers a novel per season, so the novels are waiting for season 9 if they stick with that pattern. Just talking with people about the series, it seems like they toned down several aspects of the novels that would be impossible to translate to video without basically turning it into a CGI fest. |

Yeah, I can’t see the internal perspective on some of the characters translating to the screen at all. Amos is literally a sociopath that considers murdering various members of the crew at points in the novels. |
