The Genetic Dynasty storyline is entirely original and it’s easily the best part of the show, one of my favorite sci-fi concepts ever. Lee Pace is just so fucking good as Empire in all seasons. Demrezel is also right up there as the best character in the show.
Just can’t get enough of this.
Season 3 is streaming rn and it’s amazing so far. Absolutely phenomenal performances from Lee Pace and Laura Birn. I highly recommend watching it if you like sci-fi.
I really liked the books and so I checked out in like episode 3 when it was clear they weren’t following them. This is one of very few cases where I think trying to use the title of a known work for an adaptation with lots of changes completely backfires.
