+ FrankR Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I really enjoy space operas. Big fan of Dune, Honor Harrington series, Old Man's War series etc. They rarely make for good television - plots tend to be very complex. Somehow I missed the SyFy series "the Expanse". I believe it is based on a book by James Corey. Anyone seen it? Is it any good? (I would hate to be disappointed...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ José Soplanucas Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I like it a lot. You have a lot to catch up with, they are in the 3rd season right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
body2body Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The Expanse is terrific, as long as you pay attention. It's the kind of television that requires your attention. The first two seasons were based on the Corey's Leviathan Wakes. I have really enjoyed it an anxiously await every new episode. + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ José Soplanucas Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It is more on the line of Battlestar Galactica and less of Star Trek. A more realistic sci fi, which I prefer. + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raife Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'm a huge fan of The Expanse. I've read all 7 books by James S A Corey (2 final books coming out by 2019) and this show is knocking it out of the park! Steven Strait and Wes Chatham eye candy doesn't hurt a bit. The show's gotten too expensive for SyFy given the limited number of viewers who want to put up with a censored version with commercials. Since Netflix and Amazon Prime are both carrying it, the authors are optimistic that it'll get picked up and extended, they're only in book 3 so far. I pay my vote of confidence to Amazon by buying the full season in HD ahead of time for $30. Best sci fi series out right now by a mile.

+ poolboy48220 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I just picked up on this series. I do hate that they've shaved Steven Strait's chest :-) It took a while to grab my interest, there's a lot of politics going on, but I'm about halfway through season 3 now and definitely enjoying it. I'm even starting to enjoy the belter patois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ DynamicUno Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I'm so glad Amazon rescued this series, they managed to maintain and sometimes surpass the first seasons from SyFy. Shohreh Aghdashloo who plays Avasarala is a force of nature in almost every scene she's in. + FrankR and Rockey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
