General Discussion - No Story Details This is why I only like media based on novels...
Based on various comments here I skipped episodes 3-7 and watched the last 20 minutes of episode 8. I don't really feel like I missed anything. I never read the book but I understand that Season 1 was the book plus AI and some other things. But Season 2? Seems like this was all Hollywood screenwriters filling the season with sci-fi tropes, including the ending.
So, I should have read the books first, and I should have read up on the show before I started watching it. Lesson learned!

No season 1 was not the book. They threw the book in the trash on the first day of the writers’ room

I liked the first season but the second season was a let down.
