So β¦ the Expanse series. Is it worth watching?
Discussion
Sooooo good. Especially the first two seasons. Political thriller meets space western, with a dash of detective story.
π― yes!!! Thanks for reminding me about it. Might watch it again. Last couple seasons it fell of though I thought
yes, I liked it, but have you seen Mr. Robot?
Sure!
Iβll bring the unpopular take and say no, definitely not. It basically all takes place in a single room which is clearly a cubic studio set and is in no way immersive. If you want a great sci-fi watch, check out Foundation on Apple TV
Hmm, I didn't like the Apple Foundation much, though the Empire character was great and some of the episodes were really good...some.
Very different shows. A matter of taste for sure.
Yeah I totally agree with that. The genetic dynasty aspect is really fascinating but parts of the show went a bit too βhigh artβ and should have focused on just being generally enjoyable instead
I found the (girl) math prodigy line very unconvincing/fake. Not in the concept, but the way it was written and performed. It put me off.
"Apple is trying to imagine how poverty looks like and how normal/poor people are talking/acting and completely failing at it. While the Empire character was something they understand well..."
That's what I was thinking at the time I watched it.
Thatβs a great observation. Come to think of it, I didnβt really enjoy her character.
Yes. Absolutely.
The first season had a really tight budget and feels a bit too cheap at times. But it is def worth to not pay attention to this side of things because it gets fixed in the second season and gets even better as the show progresses.
Apart of the politics in the society that is in early stage of colonization of the solar system, dealing with a mysterious thread that leads to something big I liked how the space/spaceships/battles are presented. Much more "realistic" than in most of the space shows. A lot of "wtf this is awesome" moments.
Yes, but first 2 seasons only
Definitely, but I as usuall, It deteriorate over time.
The first few seasons are great but the second half goes downhill
Begining yes, in later series i prefer how it has been in booksβ¦
I tried one episode and didnβt like it. Characters felt unrealistic
The first two or three seasons are pretty watchable.
Damn yes! Too bad it had to stop. Books highky recommended as well!
