One could argue that there's a selection effect during the up and coming phase that means a different subset of writers are the ones who make it to the top these days.

(I hear tell that as adaptions go The Expanse was relatively well done, though I haven't watched it myself as yet)

Personally, I liked the series. I never read the books, so I do not know whether it was faithful or not.
