    I tell people to write off the whole first season and they still can't get through it... Heck I kept watching because prime offers it in uhd.

    Totally worth it if you're open to sci fi.

    This is one of my favorite tv shows because of genre. It's not quite as good as something like, maybe Fleabag was this past year or Succession (as kooky as that show is)... but I prefer the sci-fi genre.

    SUPER PUMPED about Season 4 and future seasons.

    If this show was this good at explaining what was going on, I think the show would have been more well received. I gained a better appreciation for the plot, world(s), tech and people watching this guy's videos.

    The show finally got better in the 3rd season, but I still had no Idea how we even got to this point, or what the actual point of anything was without supplemental views of YouTube videos.

    Show is good but as a fan of the books it’s hard to separate the casting. Hayden should be in his mid-late 30’s and Amos a little older (or at least more hard-lived) Instead they’re in their early 20’s.

    Amazon always puts up series a day before they are scheduled for release.

    In other words, season 4 is available to watch now if you are so inclined.

    Just started the first episode of the season.

    The actor playing Holden is 33 right now and 41 for guy playing Amos.

    Hoping this hits a little early tonight like many of their big name shows tend to. Think Mrs Maizel was around 9 or so CST on Thursday night.

    I didn't realize they were going to drop the whole season. This is great.

    While waiting for this, I watched an episode of Nightflyers on Netflix.

    Hmm, based on GRRM books, interesting.

    First 15 minutes is a horror flick...nice.

    Wait wut, that was a flash forward??

    Then WTF do I give a **** about these limey bastards?!?!

    It gets worse.. so much worse. I watched this one as it was airing live on Syfy.. That first episode is probably the best episode. It's a shame because it had all the stuff to make a great show.

    They canceled the second season. The flashback was the high point of the season. It doesn't really get any better.

    So it was forshadowing when that blonde chick in the first fifteen minutes says, "Stay away from Nightflyers at all costs!!".

    Finished the season. It was good. Not as good as other seasons. I think the peak was Eros finale through the second book arc.

    I really enjoyed seeing Amazon's production budget come through. Although I wasn't a big fan of the changing aspect ratio.

    The Mars b-story was pretty boring, but it was obviously to set up the next season.

    Sad to see Ashford go. Don't know why he just didn't rip apart Inaros's ship instead of boarding it. Seems a risky plan.

    Does anyone else think Avasarala's husband tried to throw the election for her so Gao would win?

    I'm on episode 5. It is not great. This is basically the first season in terms of pacing and Why-do-I-care-about-any-of-this?-ness, but less gorgeous and 3x more f-bombs. Expanse stans will love it, but this isn't bringing in any new viewers IMO. If this show wasn't in space, I would have skipped it already.

    The Expanse finally got good in the 3rd season for me, this is a step back IMO.
