I didn't fell head over heels for the first season. Strangely I thought they were going too fast through the storyline, and I didn't really care for the interpretation of some characters.
But it was pretty watchable. I imagine even more so for those who hadn't read the books.
The second season though, especially the last 3 episodes, are very poorly paced. We get 1 min. Of Juliet at the start and 1 at the end to act as a forced cliffhanger that has nothing to do with 90% of the episode. This is bad storytelling.
You can't fault them entirely though for the repetitious nature and stagnant narrative, as the book also suffer from this. The books are a good « idea » that is not always well written.
I wished they would have corrected this in the show. Also, it's kind of sad that Robert Sims became a single minded enforcer with charisma to a plain dummy with no brains at all. I hope his wife takes over XD.
