The Expanse - TV series

I have read ALL of the books. Not happy with the series. Anyone watching that has not read the books? Thoughts?

The characters

Holden: He's blond - He is bad ass, opinionated and decisive, not a whiny puke
Naomi: Is taller/lankier than Holden - Belter
Draper: She is supposed to be a GIANT, too big to fit standard mech armor suit, and again, decisive bad ass

I understand they have to add some excitement, but some of the "tv danger", like toolbox going open during maneuvers, seems stupid when they are fighting with PDC and missiles.

I understand it is hard to convert a book or series of books to a movie or TV. And I think the show is decent. I just wish they would stay closer to the plot of the books and leave the "junk excitement" off.
