Miss Farscape so much. Really hope the rumours of a reboot come true.
All these comments and none mention the real star of the show Catherine O'Hara. There are so many two or three word pieces of genius in her script. And delivered brilliantly.
The best space sci-fi ever made. So Say We All! Very sad that Richard 'Apollo' Hatch died this year, his last film is released this year ... Diminuendo, go see it!
The series that every other series should aspire to be as well written, acted and produced.
Season 3 has really pulled it's socks up. Much darker than TWD and the softness has abated. The characters that brought the series down are removed, leaving the interesting and strong players to evolve. The second half of the season has some fantastic writing and emotion. I'm finding it more interesting than the Rick centric slop being served up by TWD now.
Fantastic in every way. Season 2 still my favorite so far.
Fantastic, dark and beautiful. Even if I wasn't bias as a Jason Bateman fan, I would class this series as one of the best on Netflix.
OK, it is a bit of a Breaking Bad story line in some respects, but there is nothing wrong with that.
If the regular TV networks are still not scared of Netflix original output then they are the fools there shows show them to be.
More more more please!!
S3 is just superb so far, a tangled web with twists and turns at every available crossroad. With the plus that only twats have iPhones ... just one to annoy the fanboys. Fuck yeah skookum televisual especial.
Another really good science fiction show that will be sadly missed. Great final episode and season. Thank you to all involved...
I put off watching it as I knew it had been cancelled after season 3. But I just had to watch it! Binged the whole lot in two weeks... now I'm sad it is no more. Bruce is such a legend!
Absolutely love this show, why it is so low on the ratings I don't know! If you want to see more of The Expanse being made then get on Twitter and Facebook and push for people to watch it. It's what Sci-Fi space fans have been waiting for since Firefly, Farscape and Battlestar Galactica if we don't support it we will lose it.
I've ordered The Expanse books as I can't get enough of this.
I found season one gripping and a tough emotional watch. Season two seems rushed, and in parts I found myself rolling eyes at the cheesy dialogue. later episodes were excellent with some truly heartfelt writing, but it should have ended with season one. Season three could tarnish the power and message of S1.
I'm not much of a Trekkie, which is probably why I kinda like it.
Excellent series, hopefully Netflix will pick it up for season 2.
Getting worried about season 2 ... there is a creeping feeling of a moral tale to be told! Certainly not something I want to happen or think should. For once can the nasty baddies win please and the good guys get their ass kicked? Please?!
Tom Jane should be sent in, but this time with an automatic rifle rather than a revolver.
Fantastic series, for once we are given a show that doesn't hold our hand and lead us through the story. I don't know why people need shows that explain every moment, this is gripping stuff throwing up more questions than answers.
Hell, if Stephen King loves it you know there is some great interpretation of the original story.
Update on my previous comment:
I was a bit disappointed by the last episode, it felt as if they were stuck between finishing the story or making room for a new season. Even more disappointing was the obligatory ... 'and the moral of the story is ...' where I felt we were being told to love one another and be happy bunnies. We know that's what we should do, but I don't want to be forced fed this in a horror series that I was enjoying so much. We watch this stuff for our own psychological torture not moral advice!
This season is strange, if you take a step back from being a fan of the show then you see that almost nothing has happened.
From the start where the crew find a landing spot with a gangway exactly the correct height for the terrain! And it happens to be close to the settlement, but far enough away to be a pain to get to in an emergency.
Why don't one of the factions on New Terra bugger off a few miles away to stop the arguing? It's a big place after all. And why are they stopping people from exploring anyway? No real explanation why the loss of a few miners is such a big deal in the scheme of things. Surely the population of the Solar system is in the tens of billions?
The Earth election is just a hard nosed politician against an SJW. Nothing to see there.
The story on Mars is just a morality fairy tale put in there to give Bobby something to do in the show.
Don't get me wrong I still love the show and have rated most episodes 7+, but this isn't the Expanse I was looking forward too. Maybe I will just read the books instead.
Would love to see this become a regular thing. Some big names here and I'm suspecting they are not charging huge fees and doing it for the love of it. Funny a lot and very very funny at times, but there are messages in here to make you think too.
Billy boy has mellowed over the years, but that's not a bad thing. Angry ginger manages to raise his head now and again to remind us he still has a sting in the tail.
Hopefully Roku can handle the backlash that some of the episodes will get.
Really enjoyed it, but felt the last three episodes were a bit flat. Funny in parts, but they will need to come up with more than swear jokes in the second season.
There is definitely something there to enjoy, but can't see it going past a two season run.
It started OK, it's going down hill .... but who cares The Expanse is back on today!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feels like the writers had 75% of a good idea and instead of fleshing it out they took LSD and shat on the page. Really not worth the effort unless you like being told your the problem all along ... which we know already ... give us something to escape from our own tragic, worthless existence.
Brilliant acting, beautiful sets beautifully shot. I wasn't hugely familiar with the books, bit after my time :) ,but I will have to give them a read. Looking forward to the next season. All the cast are super with special mention to Neil Patrick Harris, superb as Count Olaf.
First few episodes were OK, then it went into feminism, racism, etc etc. When will they stop trying to educate and just entertain. Pure shite from then on.
I wondered if the baseball bat that Dean had at the beginning was a nod to Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Lucille in The Walking Dead?
Edit: Noticed from a comment below what Dean said at the beginning of the show ... nice touch guys!
The best episode of any show I've ever watched. Should be framed, worshiped and aspired to. Sam it was beautiful, thank you.
@megaframe Know what you mean, it's the crack cocaine of SciFi! It has become a need to watch not a want. Absolutely the best space series in probably a decade.
Damn! Even after 12+ season they know how to bang on those heart strings. Even a roughnecking thundercat would have a skooch tear in the freaking eye. Brilliant!
Some people have given this a 9/10 ... seriously how much better can it get for a 10?
I would love to find Kristen Wing in a bunker, interesting return for the season.
