Yeah but they take a slightly different approach to the books and undermine the reason for the lies so that by the end of the season they are at a place where the truth would have been more effective than the lies for the reason the lies are employed for and a whole subplot (involving tape) is rendered redundant.

I think the book dropped several truths on the reader a little too early on and the TV series handled the suspense of the reveals better. I like how the TV series has you pondering what's a lie and what's the truth all the way to the end of the season.
I actually saw the TV series before I read the books, so I'm probably coming at it from a different angle to most. So the end of Season 1 was a real "wow WTF" moment for me, even though I had my own suspicions and theories. So, if the intent was to leave the viewer as wide-eyed as Juliette was, I think they succeeded.
Anyway, it's good to have some thought provoking sci-fi to talk about. Glad they got the go ahead for Season 2.

Almost done with S3 of Madalorian. I've never been a huge fan of it but this season is the weakest one yet. Seems to be a lot of filler without very much else going on.

I'm planning on doing the same. I'm only recently into reading, so have done the same with Bosch and Reacher too.

Dark Matter (original SyFy series).
Attempted this years ago and gave up after a few episodes but forcing myself through all 3 seasons now. Ploughing through 2/3 episodes a night and up to Ep.6 now. Two is proper hubba hubba!

Currently making my way through all of SnowFall again.
I do much prefer the second viewing of these things because I find it really stressful and emotional watching and not knowing what happens. Lol!

Bit of a strange show, in many ways a bit rubbish and some very hammed up acting by the SG:A crew, but has a charm to it you either get or don't get and is up there with my top rated shows. Frustratingly ended (cancelled) just as they were starting to really bring in something interesting.

Can't put my finger on it but both Fallout and The Last of Us, I watched the first episode of both and they just left me cold. Never played either of them so maybe that's what it is.

Opposite for me, never played either but enjoyed both series

Spent several thousand hours playing Fallout 3, NV and 4 and just finished watching the TV series - really enjoyed it, mostly when Ella Purnell or Walton Goggins were on camera.
Next it's back to House MD

Me and GF watched first half of Ep 1 and we just didnt get into it.
It's a lot deeper than it seems. We've only seen 4 episodes so far and the 4th explains the basis of the first 3 eps, and it just got quite dark.

It's absolutely grim later on, taking a terrible turn after the first few episodes, which actually have quite a bit of humour.

Just finished Shogun. Good TV I would say...
