Lol, a very statesman-like answer.
I read through some of the reviews and they seem to take
@ZooCougar's view. The originals novels driving device, the idea that while an individuals actions are unpredictable if the numbers are big enough events are mathematically predicable is a dry one, but interwoven with more plot/adventure driven sub-narratives it works. That may be tough to transfer to the big screen.
I did discover that a lot of the elements which I attributed to the unread (by me) prequels are actually license taken by the show producers. That's unfortunate at least for fans of the original material. Those changes are what give the series the "YA" feel that Zoocougar mentioned. The gender switch of Gaal Dornick was okay. But the reinvention of Daneel Oliver is troubling. He is a central character to a few of the different narrative threads and would have been an effective "narrator" for the series.
Still, as noted above, I didn't mind it and will stick with it.
