The two thrilling episodes which opened season constitute some of the best sci-fi TV in decades. The raw immediacy of the scenes, the multi-layered building of plot, the variations in scale and pace, the fantastic visuals---all add up to a superb viewing experience. Having read the books, I would say this is a series which is more enjoyable if one knows the books. To be sure, the series does not slavishly follow the novels, but I would say the key themes, and even the key scenes are presented authentically. If one is nit-picky about the physics, there are probably things to complain about, but this show is far ahead of other sci-fi shows (or movies) in its attempt to accurately portray action in space. If you are a science fiction fan who loves science, and who yearns for the days of real exploration of the solar system--- then The Expanse is for you!
