Hundreds of years in the future, things are different than what humanity is used to after humans have colonized the solar system and Mars has become an independent military power. Rising tensions between Earth and Mars have put them on the brink of war. Against this backdrop, a hardened detective and a rogue ship's captain come together to investigate the case of a missing young woman. The investigation leads them on a race across the solar system that could expose the greatest conspiracy in human history.

A-

"The Expanse" takes it as an opportunity to reinvent itself as needed and preserve what's worked all along. It's a show that spends plenty of time dissecting the complications with changes in the very nature of gravity.

A-

Naomi's struggles, and the attention paid to those struggles, is emblematic of what makes The Expanse so effective.

The magic of The Expanse is how effortlessly the show flits between genres...

It may not have become the cultural mainstay Trek has, but it's beloved enough by a small-yet-diehard fanbase that Amazon renewed it for a fifth season before airing a single episode.

Another Season of the Expanse, another review of pretty much nothing but praise. Who knew well-regarded sci-fi books + great cast + high budget = great television?

Just like the other season, I can easily say that this is the best sci-fi tv show ever 💯💯

Still good. But not as good as the previous seasons.

I really liked this show up to the 4th season. It's by far the worst one. The rest have all been really great until the 4th and I hope that what I read was true, the next seasons get better after S4.

Naomi Nagata is intolerable. The show takes a downturn this season and kinda stays there as long as she's present.
