Nothing compares to the insane mystery tornado of the book, but Dark Matter season 1 captures it extremely well and as best as possible. What a great adaptation.
In all but one way, Dark Matter season 1 is a near perfect adaptation of the insanely good book by Blake Crouch. There isn’t as much mystery, but they did every reveal so well. Its also less violent, but almost as dark. Read the book first for the suspense, then watch the show for some wild action.

With every version of your life comes another you, and no two Jason’s are the same. Dark Matter season 1 conquers this paradigm and adapts the book very well. But wait, there’s more!
Watch: Reaction To Dark Matter Season 1
They are making a season two of Dark Matter, meaning this story will enter unwritten territory. The book was a wonderful stand alone tale of darkness and love, but it ended. I am however excited for a second season, because the story can literally go anywhere. Jason and his family have entered the void.
