I've been binge-watching this over the last few weeks since signing up for a free trial with Prime. I'm up to the first couple of episodes into season 4.
It can say it's been one of the most enjoyable sci-far viewings in a very long time - every episode has its thrilling moments and it's very difficult not to watch more than two at a time (I think I watched two sittings of two episodes on Saturday!).
I understand that it has been adapted from the novels and I'm sure that there are TV channel budgeting and scheduling reasons for it, but did anyone else think that the natural ending points of a season seem to come mid-way through (e.g. the crash of Eros into Venus which feels like it could have been a more natural end for season 1 was halfway through season 2, the end of the hybrid programme was halfway through season 3, and the exploration of the ring-gate felt like a whole new season!). Do the novels begin and end at similar points to the series?
