In the words of Jim Gaffigan: You know what I liked about the movie? It took me two hours, then I took a nap.
In all seriousness, I really enjoy watching the show/movie first, and then reading the book. I’m not disappointed about the things the show left out, which are often necessary exclusions for pacing or limitations in visual storytelling vs internal narration. And then, when I read the books, it’s like I’m getting the director’s cut with commentary. It adds depth to characters and sometimes has deleted scenes.
Of course this isn’t universally true. I will say it worked spectacularly for The Expanse
