I loved the books, this series was good until about halfway through the first season, still a enjoyable watch to a fault. The kid is annoying by the end of the first season

It’s good up till the end of season three where the show faces cancelation, resulting in a rushed and lower budget season four to finish things up.

The book series is great. The TV show does a decent job with some of the material. The biggest issue with the show is the casting and some choices in FX. Considering we are not supposed to like the ex-wife too much, I am fine with how much I dislike the character in the show. But, we are supposed to actually like his son. But, the casting change on the kid playing him is so bad that one actually starts hoping for the kid to die. When your biggest hope for a show is for the kid to get killed, and that isn't actually the intent of the story, you know you have issues. The kid makes it almost painful to watch the show. The big badguy is also fairly ridiculous looking. Extremely dated FX design.
