The Expanse

It took me a while to realize the expanse is the best show I've ever seen, I love the wire, sopranoes, thrones, but for me personally, this is it

This series makes me want to read the books. According to Wikipedia, "The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels, novellas, and stories by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012." You can tell. The story is nuanced, multilayer and intricate. There are Earthers, Martians and Belters (complete with their own patois), politics, a Cold War heating up, an ideology willing to kill people to protect "life". It's a treasure trove of story, characters and good watching. But, it's not for the faint hearted. Because of the depth of the multiple levels, it takes attention and patience to reveal the interwoven pattern(s). I suggest binge watching the first season, so you don't lose the strands of the story, but, now, at the beginning of the second season (on the ScyFi or Space channel), the basic premise has become a solid foundation, that will support the wait for weekly episodes. I gave the first season an 8 (great) out of 10, but with the second season, it has reached a 9 (superb) climbing on its way to a 10 (un-miss-able). Come for the characters, stay for the intensity of the drama.

Best plot ever... worst actors ever.

Season 4 was visually stunning, prob one of the best shows so far from that perspective. Story wise, kind of lacking. Not much progression, entire season felt like it’s a setup for season 5. I would recommend watching season 4 for sound & visual effects. Beyond that don’t expect too much from the writing.

Imagine GOT in space but instead of Jon "your my queen" Snow, you get bad ass James Holden. I didn't like any characters at first but after 5 season's I love them, all the characters are flawed and operate in the grey not a good vs evil position. I love the world building where you feel this is all believable, the politics, technology, economic problems.

The attention to detail that everyone involved puts into this series is impeccable to physics to the cinematography it really is hands down one of the best sci-fi television series out there right now.

Are you kidding Me, Syfy!?
Y’all dumb as rocks.
The definition of what Syfy should be is the Expanse!
Everything else on that damn channel is a load of crap.
Cancellation was a bad decision and foresee nothing good coming from this for the the Syfy channel. I will follow the series to the next station that picks it up.

Expand THE EXPANSE of your mind...

My absolute favorite series of all time. Incredible from start to finish.
