I've been avoiding this show because I didn't care for the book, and shows are frequently worse than the book.
However, I've been following this thread and trying to avert my eyes for spoilers (thanks to those using tags), and I got the gist that the show's reality hopping is more about technology and less "it was all a dream".
Since it seems the main problem I had with the book is handled completely differently, I gave the show a shot and started watching it this week.
So far I like it a lot. It is quite a bit different than what I remember about the book, but not in ways that bother me. The only complaint I have is that the attempted assassination in the alley was a little too "Michael Bay" with hundreds of bullets and a car exploding in a giant fireball. It felt out of place compared to the rest of the series, or at least what I've seen so far. I'm only about 1/3rd into the first season.
