I find the lens they used to film many of the shots incredibly distracting. The bokeh is outta control.

I've read the books and thoroughly enjoyed them and am now thoroughly enjoying the show. The emphasis of the show is different, certainly, but in this case I am happy with that. After the first episode in which I was all 'It's not that way in the book...' I am taking as it is.
My SO has not read the books and is also thoroughly enjoying it. It is probably her favourite show at the moment.
It's pretty good but feels quite basic compared to the books.
To be honest I've only seen the first two episodes and they didn't really grab me.
I enjoyed the books a lot when I read them, but never felt like it would adapt well to TV since so much exposition happens in the main character's head.
Does it get better in later episodes?
Its more of the same. I'm loving it, but it definitly different than the books

I've been loving it so far, tempted to pick up the books now.
The show is good, the books are fantastic!
I've picked it up as a casual follow because there's not much else at the moment. It's okay but I am not overwhelmed.
The show focuses, in my opinion, a bit too much on that human/bot mix portraying all kinds of ways he's not actually human. It distracts from the (in my opinion rather thin) storyline. Maybe this is one of those shows that is complementary to the books it's based on?
Didn't know it was out, thanks! (Love the books)
I’ve never read the books. But I’m loving the show.
Does the series spoil the books? I haven't started watching or reading yet, although the first book went on my to-read list four years ago.
I just listened to the first book, finished yesterday (it was a whopping three hours, as it’s really a novella). It seems the show is following the first book pretty closely. Some changes sure but the main plot line seems intact. Can’t speak for later books and of course all of the episodes aren’t released yet but it seems to be season 1 = book 1, which is All Systems Red.
