Subscriber nudge+ Posted December 1, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 1, 2018 Just watched the first episode and really liked it. Don't know how it slipped under my radar; some great characters, very interesting storyline and setting, good visuals and believable scifi. Quote The Expanse is a space opera, mystery-sci-fi drama television series based on the bestselling novels of the same name by James S. A. Corey. Set a few hundred years in our future, the fragile relationship between Earth, Mars and the Belt is reaching a tipping point. Soon, the three factions will discover their political machinations are the least of their worries when confronted with a conspiracy that could threaten all of humanity. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230854/ Anyone else watched it? Season 4 is due next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got Season 3 still to watch, I was mixed on season 2. But mostly because season 1 was so full of well paced mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowabunga Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I liked all 3 seasons it very much. Season 4 (when it allegedly airs) is supposed to be a big "jumping the shark" I guess. If I have to pick a letdown, CGI since the end of season 2 has been a bit meh. Not only artistic design cannot hold to a positive comparison with Giger's Alien Universe art but to many mundane shows in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted December 3, 2018 Author Subscriber Share Posted December 3, 2018 So I'm halfway through the first season and I love it... Brilliantly done hard sci-fi/space adventure/detective noir with political undertones. Extremely enjoyable. @Bluewolf you have to watch it!

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 5, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2018 Great show. I was under the impression that Syfy went ahead and did what it does to all nice shows and gave it the dustbin treatment. Nice to see that Amazon has picked it back up.

I'm almost done with Season 1 and I LOVE it so I'm just desperate to hear that it stays good throughout Kowabunga there mentioned that CGI doesn't look that good since the end of Season 2; Batard said he was mixed on Season 2; I don't want to be disappointed hehe...

Season 1 was what got me hooked and I thought it was brilliant at the time but as with most SyFy shows it drags a bit in Season 2. Stick with it though as its rewarding as it progresses.

I just have to be patient while it gets sorted out, annoying though, there is only so much rubbish I can watch on Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted January 13, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 13, 2019 Have just finished watching Season 3 finale... love it love it love it! Loved the little monologue by Holden at the very end; and also love the whole backstory of the proto-molecule. I thought the show was going a bit nuts in the middle of the season but they wrapped it all up nicely! Looking forward to season 4 now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
