I absolutely loved this show, and loved how it incorporated the philosophical aspects of the books. I think that many of the changes that have been made were necessary in adapting this work. I think more character work at the start of the show could have been a nice to have, allowing us to get to know the characters a bit better before plunging straight in, but I understand why this might not have been done for time and budgetary reasons. All in all, an incredible watch, with very decent acting, some funny lines here and there, and an excellent example of TV science fiction, and what it could and possibly even dare I say, of what it should, look like. As an addtional note, a lot of the criticism of this show seems to be coming from critics that don't like shows with non-constant drama and unique pacing, and while I agree that there could have been ways the show could have done better with its pacing, I think these are silly criticisms of what is overall a very interesting work. Additionally, most of the critics that seem to have read the Trilogy that this series is actually based on, seem to have enjoyed this show so far, or are optimistically holding out further hope for their few criticisms being addressed by subsequent seasons.
