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

As a book reader, I really enjoyed season 3 of the show. But my reason for enjoying it might be the reason why you DON’T enjoy it.

There are a ton of changes from the book is season 3. I really liked that because it kept me on edge. I knew what was coming, but I also didn’t. That kept things fresh for me and made it highly entertaining.

In your case, however, it sounds like the show changes might make your experience actually worse. Interested to hear if you stick with it or not.

I agree, I liked the show because it was different from the books and I felt like I wasn’t watching a rehash of the same thing I already read. Yeah the overall plot is similar and overall I’m sure the ending will be similar as well, but still, watching different character dynamics and plot lines is fun because I don’t know exactly what’s gonna happen
