Season 5 shows more focus and gives the sense of a complete story coming together. There is still the disappointing lack of discovery regarding the protomolecule ring, but it's clear by the season's end that we will certainly be returning to it for the final season. Season 5 starts off at the same pace as season 4: frankly slow. But the character narratives continue to compel as the action ramps up and the plot for next year's closing season is revealed. The Expanse continues to flex its sci-fi muscle, getting into grooves not seen since season 3, as it continues hurdling towards what's shaping up to be an impressive finale.

what a great scifi show, story, characters, settings. I was hooked from the first episode in s1. I bought the books now because of this show.

Another swerve in the plot and character inconsistencies. Brave, strong Naomi becomes a blubbering mess at the end of this season. Too many scenes in which she's doing something-or-other to a thingamajig with no clue to the viewer about what's happening--while she screams and cries and carries on--a total change in her character. In addition, it's totally unbelievable that N. could just paddle over to another ship, open the door, and climb in-without her lungs exploding or without losing consciousness due to the bitter cold. Then, one of the main characters is killed off so fast that if you blinked, you missed it. Even Fred Johnson got more of a send-off. Turns out this particular character in real life had some serious issues and was let go--very suddenly--right at the climax of the entire season when he was about to...well, let's just say it ruined everything for me.

Very good, they got almost all the physics correct which is a rare thing nowadays.
-
What a joke , Naomi going for a walk without a suite and finding the time to get inside the next ship.. the Wohle story if Naomi is totally unbelievable and don't get me started with her bad acting.. really ruined the show for me..
-
Easily the best SciFI since BSG.
