Tommy H Jan 16 There’s a lot of world-building and the characters aren’t introduced well, so it takes a while to figure out what’s going on but the story really picks up toward the end, and I’m excited to watch season two. See more Really S @ReallySeriously Dec 13 casting, script and directing really well done through season 3. best contemporary scyfy series. however s4 writing acting begins to fail and s5 is tragic. magic number is 3---Miller! See more KeLorean Nov 15 I will admit that season one is a little slow at points, but when the twists start coming you will be hooked. Visual effects and set design are fantastic. Characters and cast are excellent, too, but it is the writing that makes this show so superb. Not only do they try to explain all the science and physics of interstellar travel, but they also set up a universe of competitive powers that engage in very believable politics, diplomacy, and war with each other. Amazing series! In the top 10 series of all time and probably the top sci-fi series. See more Michael G Oct 13 It seems to have promise but I can’t understand half the dialog. I don’t get it. I can watch a sci-fi movie from the 50’s and understand every word and here it is - 2025 - and they can’t mix the sound right? Tots cool when REM mumbles but not on a film where you are trying to understand the dynamics of 3 warring factions. Almost as incompetent asJJ Abrams refusal to use a tripod in the Star Trek movies. See more David B A Sep 20 I am not generally a fan of science fiction due to the weakness in character development compared to great movies and occasional TV series of our culture and globally. However, something about The Expanse caught my eye, and from the start I was amazed at the meticulous character development, the excellent acting, the many-layered story line, and yes, the financial investment that created an all-embracing experience of these imagined worlds. After watching all six seasons, my experience continued the same throughout. Clearly the source novels (which I have not read) deserve a lot of credit, but I also recognize the degree of commitment and quality focus the backers provided from beginning to end. Very enjoyable and engaging. Exceptional! See more Thibault S Sep 18 The Expanse takes a few episodes to fully unfold its intricate world, but the payoff is immense. By weaving together detective intrigue, political maneuvering, and layered societal and economic conflicts, the show crafts a rich, accessible space opera that appeals to a broad audience. While each season varies in pacing and narrative strength, the series stands as one of the finest in the sci-fi genre since Stargate SG-1—faithfully adapted from the books. For fans left wanting more after the show’s sixth and final season, the books offer a rewarding continuation, with three more volumes to explore. The depth and fidelity of the adaptation make diving into the novels a must for anyone invested in this universe. See more Read all reviews
