While the first episode had me hooked, I've found it very hard to sit through the subsequent episodes. I find them dragging, future-past bouncing isn't congruent, and I'm often distracted while the show is running, coming back to it 20 or so minutes later feeling like I haven't missed anything important.

I read the books when I was in my late teens and thought they were interesting, they kept my attention at the least. The show is, unfortunately, not something I'll clamor to watch, but rather something I'll likely keep on for background noise after the entire season airs.
