I am 3/4 thorough. It's very good although VERY drawn out. I mean, I read the book a long time ago, but in this series they REALLY tease stuff for an unreasonably long time. It's, what, at least 15 episodes before the idea of aliens is even spoken out loud?

I'm sure that is intentional as it is a pretty big spoiler. It's unfortunate that almost everyone who reads this already knows too much. Going in blind is a much better experience.

It could certainly be shorter, but the big reveal should be closer to the end.

My SO hasn't read the books and was convinced it was some simulation/Matrix-like situation as well at first.
