Great sci-fi series, appropriately enough on SyFy.
Best explanation of the show I've heard is that it is Game of Thrones in space.
Mars, Earth, and the Belt are in a perpetual state of Cold War when a new bioweapon is introduced.
Characters are very well developed and it's a true sci-fi show.
First 2 seasons are available on Prime and 3rd season just started a couple weeks ago.
Watch it.

Guys give this a shot.
If I remember you guys liked Game of Thrones for the most part. Well watch The Expanse on Prime Video.
The first 3 seasons are streaming now, while season 4 starts in December and season 5 has already been ordered.
This show is amazing.
Do yourself a favor and watch it.

It really is - and Dawes is such a great character. Dood is fucking smart and cunning. Space Tyrion but taller!

Dawes and Fred and the whole OPA are intriguing. Throw in Miller and Naomi and The Belt has some great characters.

Also the books are outstanding. I started reading them between seasons 2 and 3 and they're really well done. 8 of 9 scheduled books have been released (I've read 7 of them so far) and the stories they tell are very interedtkng.

Also read the books.
You'll enjoy the hell out of them and they obviously go a lot deeper than the show can.
I want to see how closely season 4 aligns with book 4. Because books 4 and 5 are outstanding.

If this is going to go 9 seasons they need to film multiple seasons at a time. I am definitely going to pick up the books. How closely do the first 3 seasons follow the first 3 books?

Major beats stay the same. I'm very interested to see how the next 2 seasons go, because if they do stick to the books then business is gonna pick up. |

I enjoyed the first episode. It skews from the book, and I think some neat storylines are going to get dropped, but it sets up for a cool season.

Through 5 episodes and it's hitting all the right spots.
Ilus as the battleground between Belters and RCE is working great.
Wei and Amos. Solid.
Murtry to Amos: "Before this is done, you and me are gonna end bloody."
Amos: "How bout now? I'm free now. "
Perfect Amos.

Finished it up and it was great. I was concerned some things from the books were going to be left out but the way they did it, I really enjoyed.
And the additions worked for the most part too.
Only one I didn't care for as much was Avasarala's story. I like her role in future books and hope this season's story doesn't cause us to lose that. But I have faith in the writers to know what they're doing.
Can't wait to watch it again.

2 great characters in the show who are basically afterthoughts in the books.
One area where the show definitely improved on the source material.

First 3 episodes of season 5 dropped.
This is gonna be great as book 5 is easily one of my favorites.
It is weird seeing Cas Anvar given whats happened since #MeToo.

Big shocker in episode 4. Kind of surprised they went that way, but they've earned the trust that they know what they're doing.

Another excellent season. Glad the gang is back together on the Roci though. Mostly. I am very confused as to what happened at the very very end of the episode though. May have to dig through reddit or somewhere to get some info.

Those things Elvi saw last season when she touched the object with Miller, and that Holden saw when he completed the circuit in the slow zone station, are what happened.
They're awake...

Final season (for now maybe) of the show comes out next week.
