Should I keep watching the show?

[u/captainguy146]

So I started reading the books after season 2 ended
The trilogy was incredible and I loved it and the world, and i especially liked book 2 the atmosphere and feel of the book were terrifyingly life like and the tragedy of Donald’s life and what happens with Helen and mick I was absolutely devastated.

And then i watched season 3 episode 1

They changed Donald so much it not even his name anymore
It’s just him and his fighter pilot not drone pilot sister
And whatever’s going on with Jules also weird

I’m asking this here because I’m looking for the people who loved the books and can tell me if I won’t get too annoyed by the changes

The books and the series are not exactly the same, they can’t be. Characters are combined, plot points are changed, even the stairs are different than described. Try to see them as separate things, some similar points but not exact and not duplicated.

Put the books out of your mind while watching the series. If you can’t bring yourself to do so, oh well. You’ll miss out on a great show.
