My wife loved the book. She couldn't stand that show. It seems it's another situation that they alienated the original medium audience while doing nothing in particular to gain a new audience.

It doesn't help that there were some awful movies recently that seemed to borrow heavily from the book like Antebellum and I seem to recall another but can't think of the name.

That probably doesn't help. I did finish the series. I plan to read the book. The show seemed unwilling or unable to address the major themes of the book.
