Dare I continue? I kind of switched off from it as the main female protagonist went from brilliant bad ass engineer to weak love struck teenager. It was galling. The story was so fun, but I was suffering through the teen drama.
I made it when they went through the thing
and made discoveries on the planet. (Vague but failed at spolier tag).
No you should not continue. Seasons 1-3 of The Expanse the show was owned y SyFy. It was canceled and Amazon picked it up for Seasons 4-6 and the show turned to utter dogshit.
Not only did the Naomi character turn to shit so did all the others, particularly the heart of the show Amos.
I think what made that so annoying at the time was that by that point we knew the show was coming to an end but the story was moving at a snail’s pace. There was less and less time to cover an enormous amount of content and it felt like Naomi’s arc was taking way too much time.
Without spoilers, the books are kinda written like GoT where they change perspective a lot and in the books she had kinda just seen like 9/11 x 30 and then a little first hand and her best friend react to it in a very unexpected way and say he wanted more… They turned her PTSD into teen drama and when it wasn’t wildly decried the teen drama eventually took over everything.
They really do the books pretty well up to that actual point though. And the events that happen do lead up to the main story points for the most part

Re-watching it later was more enjoyable.
Covered my feelings. Maybe I need to give it another try.
Ya see that’s how they did the books dirty.

Fair point and you captured it well. Maybe I need to hold my nose and finish it. Not sure if my partner is ready for this yet though.
