I haven't read the books, but I did watch the show... I enjoyed the first half, but the second half had so much implausible bullshit that I couldn't really recommend it. I mean, the first half also had crazy impossible tech - but I feel that's ok because its part of the setup premise. The stuff I didn't like in the second half was more implausible decision making and strategising (and also implausible uses for impossible tech).

In any case, I really feel like they wasted a strong setup. I was disappointed at the end, and I'm not intending to watch the next session.
