I enjoyed the original books, but given their format it made translation into a television series or film a challenge (hence why it has not been done before). This production so far seems very good--but I am just getting into it. The production visuals and f/x are beautiful. Interesting group of actors. The overall theme of the story certainly resonates now. It is on Apple TV+.
Pet Peeve: I do not mind rings and other cool effects around alien worlds, but can they stop having moons in close orbit (I get they do it because it looks dramatic, but it would make living on such a world difficult). Wouldn't the gravitational effects of that would be something along the lines of the massive tidal surges in Interstellar? I also think it would create dramatic geo thermal effects too, and not in a good way.
