omg what a cool scishow finally something complex and bold. they say it's the show that's standing up to BsG, but I say it's time we had a space opera that's worthy.
also, I'm amazed how many details they can cram up inside a pilot without getting it too overloaded.
a big plus for me are the space cam sequences and the sfx are eye candy.
a minus is the fact that even today's tv shows can't avoid this trap: there's no soundwaves in space, the vacuum has no air to propell the sound. so why the frak do we always hear big booms and afterburners ?
all in all, this is one to keep your eyes on.
One of the best sci-fi shows around today. The combination of plot, acting, and sticking to fairly realistic physics sets this show apart from essentially anything else on air.
Season 5 back with a bang today. A bigger budget is clear, amazing cinematography. What a series. Amazon finally the story justice. It is perfect.
This show seriously gets better with each and every season. With most sci fi shows, the plot and theme tend to become redundant or lost along the way, but not with Expanse. It stays true to its core and only continues to improve upon the story contextually and visually. It's highly underrated and deserves so much more recognition.
This show is what diversity should always look like.
A byproduct of telling a compelling story - not an agenda which has to be upheld.
Make more shows like this, shows one can be proud of not (just) because it has a diverse cast but because they are actually good.
Casting "diverse" characters isn't an acomplishment - making actually good/great TV is!
I love next to all characters on this show and the ones I don't, I at least love to hate. (Inaros to name one...).
Just finished watching the pilot and I have to say, WOW!! This show is so much better than other sci-fi/space related shows that came out earlier this year. The first show has gripped me and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the reason. Do NOT pass this up. Must watch even if you aren't a fan of space related shows!!
