Not impossible, no. Impossible while retaining the old cast, also no. Impossible while retaining the cast and telling a good story people can really sink into... most likely yes.

I'm severely disappointed that Avasarala is so tame compared to her sheer vulgarity of speech in the book. Never thought that would disappoint me, but eh. Amos is great, and not a little freaky sometimes with that soft voice. Naomi is annoying because she's a long-limbed Belter in the book, but doesn't seem to be in the show. At least she's got a terrifying glare. Holden's face looks fake somehow; I know it ain't, but it just feels fake. Alex is positively awesome, especially that accent. RIP Shed. And somewhere I completely missed that Fred Johnson was a black guy. (Give him a freaking inhaler too.) That protomolecule tho freakiest thing ever. I'm likely not gonna watch season 2.

Something bothered me about the CGI space stuff. It didn't feel real; the ships were all super shiny, the lens flares too intense, the colors oversaturated. It reminded me of Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous. I think they went overboard on the effects for extra bling. Still, the ship designs looked freaking awesome, and the Rocinante shredding a hangerful of people with the turreted gatling PDCs was glorious.

By the way, if you're gonna fire nukes at a completely unarmed ice hauler, why fire 4? Total waste. Should just use 1.

It's like an aluminum-wrapped pinata, with squishy people inside instead of candy, and you're hitting it with a city-buster instead of a stick!

EDIT: Speaking of watching the first season, did you find a place where you could watch it for free or were you stuck buying it somewhere? I haven't found any places to watch season 1 free without being somewhat arr-y.
