Been very pleased with the show.
Has a Heinlein/Niven/Clarke old-school element.
Don’t like the ‘soap opera’ aspects, but they’re not overwhelming.
Season 3 is now starting—and I highly recommend it.
This is a seven novel book series—and trust me—each book is better than the last.
Hopefully they go for all seven seasons.
Themes I love:
—Clueless scientists
—The map is _never_ the territory
—No battle plan survives contact with the enemy, if you can even figure out who the enemy is..
—The alien does not play by human rules (so good to see someone _gets_ that)
Great stuff.
