It's a very loose adaptation that takes a lot of liberties, but it seems apparent that the writers at least did their homework on the world and knew what to borrow and what to reference in ways that would make more sense for TV.
Interestingly, I found the "truer to book" storylines in the first couple of seasons to be nothing special, but the mostly original storylines they put together were compelling enough to keep me watching. As of the third season, they seem to have found their pace with everything coming together in a way that feels good and satisfying, but I know that David S Goyer, the main showrunner to this point, is stepping back, so curious to see if season 4 will be as good.
