I would say The Expanse but them not filming the last 3 books skews that. Never had any interest in LoL but Arcane is amazing.
You really think the TV series is better than the books? Don’t get me wrong, I think they are both marvellous. I just don’t think the series is better. Particularly if you are a book reader. I get how they’d potentially be a bit meaty if you don’t normally read much.
I think it’s the first series that’s as good as the books, maybe Outlander is close but has casting issues. Could have been better but was hampered by the cancel, move, then cancel again along with Anvar being a shitbag.
I guess it’s sort of a low bar given things like Witcher and Wheel of Time, but I’d say it’s the one where I see what I read more than the others. Maybe not better but equivalent, which is more than most book->film treatments.
If you haven’t read the books, Chrisjen Avasarala is completely pointless throughout the entire first season.
She’s just ranting and reacting to stuff that’s happening on the far side of Mars and nothing to do with her. Yet she keeps getting screen time. She doesn’t become relevant to the wider plot until Bobby visits Earth.
3 first seasons were better than the books, especially 3rd one. 4th book was bummer though so i don’t even watched the show.
I hate how it just… ends. I complained about it online when I finally finished the show, and the book fans were just like “lol now you have to wait 20 years for the next part!”
