Pretty much. But the writing was also good, wasn’t it?
Hit or miss imho, especially in the later seasons. I think TM's ability to make all of the characters so unique really went a long way in making the series what it was.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
The Orphan Black spinoff I wanted would have been Helena and Art opening a food truck specializing in Ukranian-soul food fusion & solving a mystery in a different Toronto neighborhood every week
Holy cow, bring that to my eyeballs

Compassionately intolerant
From way back, I love the Ultraviolet series. And, while I have had a hard time even wanting to watch Picard, I confess I had the same Cylon thought. And probably always will when I see James Callis on screen.

TCG and I started The Expanse this week. I’m not loving it so far, but I know a lot of people here loved it. So, I’m hoping it will grow on me

It does grow, I think. I wasn't the biggest fan of Miller, so that was a bit of a roadblock.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of his either.

Our wings are not tired.
I watched with two people who hadn't read the books so I had to struggle to not continuously give backstory or say 'but they did it this way in the book'; it was tough.

Thrive to spite them
I started reading the books after I saw the series so that has been interesting to compare and contrast.
The Miller part isn't as interesting, I think things move along better without him.
I still haven't seen the last series. I could probably be ok watching it visually but I haven't tried. I kinda don't want it to end.
I did watch past of Altered Carbon...although there was quite a bit of looking away during flashing lights and stuff. I have been bad lately about correctly identifying actors in certain roles so I was surprised I got what his name from BSG and the guy who played Bobo on Wynnona Earp had the same look so that wasn't hard to pick him out.
