I think it’s the first series that’s as good as the books, maybe Outlander is close but has casting issues. Could have been better but was hampered by the cancel, move, then cancel again along with Anvar being a shitbag.
I guess it’s sort of a low bar given things like Witcher and Wheel of Time, but I’d say it’s the one where I see what I read more than the others. Maybe not better but equivalent, which is more than most book->film treatments.
If you haven't read the books, Chrisjen Avasarala is completely pointless throughout the entire first season.
She's just ranting and reacting to stuff that's happening on the far side of Mars and nothing to do with her. Yet she keeps getting screen time. She doesn't become relevant to the wider plot until Bobby visits Earth.
