The Expanse (Page 1 of 11)

Yeah I couldn't get through the whole first episode either....glad to hear it wasn't just me.

I really Like it. It has a very interesting universe and as i have learned from Dark Matter character development takes time. Very little that jumps out as "bad".

Edit: Halfway to episode 4 i kept thinking "This is so cool!"

Great or at least very good show , like the atmosphere , epic feel to it and spaceships too. Decent acting and intresting plot.
After watching 4 episodes it is a keeper!

LOL, I came to this thread and the first two comments had me worried and leaning towards putting this series on the back shelf but as I scrolled down some more I started to breathe a sigh of relief. I'll reserve judgement once this season is completed and I've watched it all in its entirety but I'm glad to hear some enjoyed it, and I'm also surprised but glad to hear there's decent production values. It sounds interesting and I have it queued up to watch once the season ends, so I can binge straight through it. Damn you Netflix for engraining that method of attack in me.

P.S. - Been meaning to dive into the books too but that's another story for a later time...

I think that it is not fair to judge a series by the first episode. I've seen all four aired and I quite like it.
I am not a prude, but the new series from this year have a lot of sex scenes. like Jessica Jones.

@xzeal - the Zero G shots were made with wires in a blue/green sceen enviroment, but there was a special Airbus A300 where  the Zero G could be "emulated". See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLI--9vnVXM

This show is quite good, some interesting things at play.

This is the best tv-show i have seen in many years, it is just awesome. Both as scifi and also just as a tv-show. Really high quality stuff, but most important it is exciting and you really want to see more all the time. Perfectly balanced. I can not praise this high enough i just love it. Not just because it is scifi. 13 minutes of episode 1 is NOT ENOUGH you need to try again. You watched just until the sex scene. I also was kind of sceptical in the absolute beginning, worried it was a new defiance or something, but then it really takes off and gets good. Also, there are no more silly sex scenes after that first one, atleast not in the first four episodes. It is not even there to show sex, but to establish the relationship of that couple.

Attention to scientific realism and decent FX is impressive. Cast and scripts are good as well. Damn, it is a Golden Age (tm) for TV. So much quality stuff, so little time.

Awesome!

Oh yeah, most definetaly. I'm actually selling the show to others as "BSG with the action and politics, but without the mystical bullshit".

From what I know of the source material for the show, there will not be any mystical BS, but there will be some interesting surprises.

I really wanted to love this show, but after 6 episodes I kinda dropped it, I want to see the rest, but it feels like a hazzle, and a likable/good show should not.

I think my main problem with the show is there is no likable characters for me, I loved the martian who interrogated the miners. He was very interesting, and would be a perfect fit to join their escape and helping in finding out who the unknown 3. party was. But sadly they killed him off, what a waste...

I don't find the rogue cop, the mininer crew (except Amos, he was mildly interesting) or any of the people on earth interesting or worth cheering on.

A friend of mine said the last few episodes were good, but I can't see how they can turn it around for the better.
Is it worth watching the last episodes?
