I'm the same - loved the first 4 seasons, but season 5 feels slow like they're really dragging things out. Also feel like some of the dialogue and acting are not very convincing. And it almost feels like a series of short stories, instead of one storyline.

Book 5 is pretty disjointed with 4/5 stories happening at the same time. So, your feeling is accurate to the book.

You're not wrong. The parts on Earth from season 5 was from "The Churn", a novella.

The parts on Earth are from book 5. "The Churn" novella is the story of Timmy becoming Amos that happened before Amos was on the Cant.

Ah, I haven't read the books, and didn't even realise the series was based on books until this thread!
