Critic Reviews for The Expanse Season 5
All Critics (24) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (24) | Rotten (0)
Even with the protomolecule saga relatively sidelined this season, "The Expanse" draws so much strength from exposing how fragile an expansive society like this is.
If you can look past some wooden dialogue and stiff acting, however, the new season might be the show's best as an adventure-drama delivery system - the creators have only gotten better at pacing and packaging a taut conspiracy thriller.
The Expanse reminds us that life is fragile and power is fleeting, yet at the same time celebrates the ingenuity of mankind. Proper sci-fi drama done brilliantly well.
This moral ambiguity has always been The Expanse's strength, bolstered by a great cast and damned good special effects.
These episodes are epic.
The Expanse's keen understanding of history and politics, combined with its relatively low technology level, has allowed the show to feel about as realistic as science fiction can get.
The Expanse is not Star Wars or Star Trek but something unique and remains the benchmark for science fiction on television.
Season 5 of The Expanse is great TV, and it's great because it makes you think as much as it makes you feel.
Five seasons in, The Expanse is cruising.
From the personal story arcs to the well done social/political themes being woven in, season five of The Expanse is setting up to be another amazing season of sci-fi television!
The emotional stakes are high in The Expanse season 5, and although the action takes a few episodes to really kick in, once things shift into high gear, it's full speed ahead.
Without going into spoilers, the introductory episodes pack a serious punch, tying a massive interplanetary event into some deeply personal storylines.
Audience Reviews for The Expanse: Season 5
-
5h agoWorst actors with some exceptions, feels like they aren't even trying at this point(s5).
-
15h agoI have been disappointed in episodes 6 and 7 of the fifth season, the original sci-fi story has been turned into a family drama of a woman and her conflicted millennial son. So far I have come, I will not see another episode, this last season has gotten much worse. They no longer have good ideas, they destroyed it.
-
17h agoMasterpiece show of a masterpiece set of books.
-
1d agoJe vais faire simple. Je considère The Expanse comme la meilleure série SF des années 2010. Quelque soit la saison, la série est intense et véritablement passionnante !
-

3d agoWtf happened to this show? Scene after scene of people crying and talking about their feelings. Nothing wrong with that but doesn't make for entertaining television.
-
3d agoHonestly the best thing I have seen on TV since GOT session 1-7
-
3d agoSeason 4 was a bit of a lull but season 5 immediately picks up on the good writing and cinematography of the expanse series.what season 5 answering many of the questions about characters that have existed since the beginning of the TV show. In short season 5 is another nail biter thought you don't want to miss
-
3d agoIt outstanding, one of the best Sci fi shows ever made, a must see for everyone
