9 out of 10

As an ardent fan of both the book series and games, I will say this: perceive books, games and the series as 3 separate beautiful works based on one common idea and you will be happy. The series itself is gorgeous. Not Game of Thrones in its first seasons, but close in intensity. If your expectations are not too high, you will be satisfied.

If you (like me) are a fan of the book series, then here's a recipe for a successful viewing:

1) read the book and it was wonderful, it was a unique experience;

2) the series takes the idea, almost entirely of the characters, but imagine that he puts them in a somewhat alternative story and we do not return to this issue anymore;

3) such a tub of doubts was poured on Anya Chalotra in vain, she copes with the role (although the serial Jennifer is not equal to the book, I fully believe in the resulting image);

4) the series uses an atypical narrative mode (skipping huge periods and just giving exposure in certain key places), just let go of your imagination, it's worth it.

Minus 1 point for small shoals with speed (noticeable only if you know where and look closely) and really so-so Nilf armor.

Total: You can and should watch, preferably in one gulp, choose a day off, but no complaints about canonicity, relax and just watch a little bit of an alternative story based on your favorite universe.
