Its my first run and I’m currently in the middle of Season 2 (episode 8: Pyre) so if the situation changes after that please don’t spoiler me.

Am I wrong that I really don’t like the Belter?
They are so unorganized and aggressive and only out for themselves.
After Fred Johnson acquired the 30 Nukes as a contingency to defend the Belt against Mars and Earth, why are the leaders of the belt so daft and actually want to use them against the inner planets? Then that stupid mutiny against him after they kidnapped the remaining doctor.
And then that atrocity after Ganymede, where the Freighter simply ejected people from the inner planets when they were told to move to a different freighter. That was truly gut-wrenching.
Also, I’m quite sad but also happy that Miller sacrificed himself in Eros and be with Julie Mao for their final journey to Venus.
Besides that I would say that I fell in love with the series, the setting, the people and everything.
Shouldn’t be spoilers below for the story.
The books did a vastly better job of showing the diverging perspectives, one that really stuck out was the show really didn’t show how the belters viewed Basic Assistance, it was always seemingly a pro un viewpoint in the show, the belters were “the enemy”. I think that’s just the issue with medium and not wanting to confuse watchers maybe.
Each chapter of the book is from the persons personal perspective, it’s really different when you’re actually the character that’s talking.
