I read the first and maybe second books when I was a kid. The series diverges from the source material quite a bit, though not necessarily in a bad way, as I recall the source material being very dry. The gender of most of the lead characters was changed from male to female which is great for a more diverse show, but they do make a lot of excuses to put the female characters into bikinis and sex scenes, which they probably wouldn’t have done with male characters, so there’s that.
