What TV have you been watching? Sense8, The Expanse

Any recent season finale knock your socks off? Sense8 season 2 finale was SO FAST PACED and the cliffhanger is killing me.

Book to television. Do you watch any shows like this? What are your thoughts on how medium transfers? I watch SO many shows that are adaptations of books - The Expanse, Longmire, Justified are the ones that come to mind at the moment.
I really like how the story shifts - sometimes entire plots - and how the characters are familiar but not entirely the same.
It reminds me that not every reader or viewer comes to the story with the same filter and we all interpret things with a variance, sometimes the variance is minor, sometimes not. In book to television, it's not just the writers who are transforming a story from page to screen but directors and actors and all that shifting around is fascinating to me.
