Interesting to see you you say that. We've been listening to the audiobook on some road trips after having watched the show...we just made it to the *just* before the end of S1 of the show
Paused it after Jules got suited up and the doors to the silo are about to open--were almost at our destination and figured we'd save the "new" part of the story for our next long drive
While I have the benefit of knowing what happens, I found the book to be FAR less subtle than the show. I'm not going to say you couldn't make pretty good guesses about what was going on in the show, but in the book a lot of things were basically spelled out for you. Things that might have been subtle foreshadowing on TV just seemed obvious--like they'd repeat it a second time and draw extra attention to it just to make sure you didn't miss the clue. If anything, the characters are figuring it out AFTER the reader.
Curious to see @patrick_b's take as I believe he also watched the show first and then went all the way through the book series via audiobook. Unfortunately I can't yet comment on the second half of book 1, but honestly I think the TV writers improved the narrative structure. Some of the elements they added helped keep the mystery alive and made it more compelling (but again, I don't yet know how the book ends)
I finished episode 2.Dark Matter came out on Apple. Heard the book was great. One episode in and it’s pretty good.
Holy f@ck!!! Did not see that coming.Oh Shiit moment
Ooooooh.....Holliday Grainger?Just finished the first season of The Capture. Pretty solid.
Yup, it's her. Also Ben Miles and Ron Perlman, who are both excellent, as usual. Definitely worth watching, if you have Peacock.Ooooooh.....Holliday Grainger?
I haven't heard of this show. I've been waiting patiently for CB Strike's next season.

I watched the trailer and it all came back to me sort of like an acid flashback...Never heard of it either (unless my memory is as bad as @mhip). I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked CB Strike. Came across it late and binged several seasons. Immediately smitten with Holliday Grainger! I don't think I'd seen Tom Burke in anything before and he's fantastic. I was shocked when I learned that JK Rowling wrote the books.
I read somewhere that they've started filming and the new season is expected by the end of the year or early 25. There was a long gap between seasons because Grainger gave birth to twins and took a couple of years to get her life settled. I dunno how long they're going to keep making the show, but there are 7 books so far, so there's source material still.That's good news on Strike; I thought that show was over.
