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’m still stuck at the point where I’ve listened the audio books earlier this year and my brain keeps sayin, “Nuh uh, what is this, dat’ didn’t happen, who’re all these people?”
Its on my list of things to watch and I’ve got through an episode or two but it hasn’t “clicked” with me.
I appreciate your excitement though, it gives me hope that my brain will forget the books soon enough and I can just enjoy the thing for itself.
Treat them as entirely different things. The show is way too different from the Books but in a good way.
