        The creator of the show was also the co-showrunner for season 1. Season 2 only had the other, non-creator showrunner, who apparently said in an interview that she wanted season 2 to be “less Bladerunner”, more “Chronicles of Riddick”.

        I think that explains what happened pretty succinctly.

        I think a lot of it had to do with the way the books were so different. The first was a neonoir cyberpunk detective story, the second and third book were planet spanning adventure with some alien things going on and more body swapping which is hard when you have a main star in the show.
