Let me just say this: read the books instead, but watch the show immediately afterwards? The production was beset by issues, dropped by SyFy and picked up by Amazon, then a key actor committed assault and the show was diverged to adapt for his absence, and when the Amazon bucks ran out the last season collapsed without delivering. The source material is great, vast geopolitical space opera with a micro lens through political intrigue, detective stories and the established trope of a tiny ship's crew falling in over their heads. Besides the production issues, I found that while the rest of the cast was excellent, Holden's character was played poorly, and his development didn't really come across without knowledge of the books. While the plot suffers from the production constraints, the story still feels exciting and it's fun to puzzle out which patois the Belter lingo is borrowing from at any given time. I can only wish they had a few more seasons to work with, but that's television as a medium...
