I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn't you like it?

It really puts your suspension of disbelief to the test, and all the characters are terrible. I actually thought the netflix show was better than the book because the characters were alot more relatable.

Yeah same here, I thought it was one of the few cases where the adaptation was better than the book. It cuts out a lot of the waffle from the books and patches up lots of holes, especially with characters like you said.

Yah, totally forgot to mention how horrendously bad the characters were. Like 50's SF bad.
