I’ve just read the first one, my first introduction. But I then went on to watch the netflix series, maybe next year I’ll read the other books and see how they compare.
If I remember correctly, the netflix series is quite different from the books. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. The second season not so much.
Yes, inspired by the books rather than following the books.
I also think the first season was better than the second. I didn’t mind the second but maybe it was a little too different? It definitely took me a while to get into it.
I would have been interested to see what they did with a third but alas it was cancelled.
