westsideschl Failed middle school science then this show is for you. Like lots of cheap panning camera talking heads to fill film time, yep. Need baddies vs. goodies, of course. Need blue light luminescent human alien infestations; sorry been done countless times before. Impressed by lots of floating screen computer graphic simulations; doesn't take much to make you happy. Think the space ship designs are a no-brainer possibility; back to middle school for you. Think humans thriving on those other planets/bodies is as easy as is shown then you never outgrew thinking your toy models were real.

tatryboom This is about the best Sci-Fi or speculative fiction series out there (along with Babylon 5). What I find interesting is that the series changes genres a lot but it never rly bombs out. The first season is more of a realistic noir detective story, season 2 is political drama/sci-fi (that loses a lot of its realism) and season 3 is a drama with hard core sci-fi elements. Be prepared for some issues in the later 1/2 of the 2nd season, though. Something went wrong there (3/5) but the series recovers after that.

n-rieck Have you noticed lately that Star Trek (here I am talking about Discovery) cannot tell a story even when provided the time of one whole season. Meanwhile, ever since Star Wars ended up at Disney, they always want to tell variations on the same story. I just finished watching the last episode of season 3 of The Expanse then thought to myself "that production company knows how to tell a story". Thank you to Alcon. Thank you to SyFy in the US. Thank you to Space in Canada. p.s. As one reviewer has already mentioned, the political intrigue is very reminiscent of Babylon 5

neriofrio Sci Fi is usually disregarded as a genre interesting only to a niche market, but it shouldn't be. The Expanse is probably the best example in at least a decade to prove that a great show can be of any genre and appeal to any audience as long as it's done well. Bravo The Expanse.
