I've seen the TV version of this a couple of times through and thought it was finally time to read the books. It's such a thrilling weird sci-fi story and the payoff at the end of this first one is SO GOOD. You just don't see it coming and it gives you that same Planet of the Apes / Twin Peaks unsettling-oh-shit vibe. Drags uh some parts like the show but really really fun.
Graphic: Gaslighting, Injury/Injury detail, Torture, Car accident, and Confinement
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Gore, Police brutality, War, and Infidelity
