Legit impressed with the ending. Missed Avasarala. Looking forward to new network, new season, and total refocus of the show.

Naren Shankar seems especially happy to be freed from the "no nudity" constraint. So its going to be Holden's ass, all the time.

Just about to finish S1, and loving this so far. Whoever was responsible for casting picked a bunch of people with really interesting faces to watch.

Finally got around to it when I saw it was vanishing from Netflix at the end of September, I guess because of Amazon taking over. Just got to tne end of S1 tonight, and holy crap.

randomly caught a tweet thread of a guy breaking down episodes and the sets and production design, and on one of the screens on the Roci, you can just make out that its drones are named "Peart", "Lee", and "Lifeson"

Alex's screen seems to indicate that the ship has three little drones like this, and that they're named "Pearl", "Lee", and "Lifeson". Pearl seems to be the one he's using. #TheExpanse #SomeThingsINoticed pic.twitter.com/6Rt1r87AFQ— Wagnarok (@will_wagner) September 3, 2018

Up to 2.5, ie the one that ends with something hitting Venus. Only just realised that the screenwriters are the guy who wrote the books, so to speak.

I couldn't make it through the initial exposition-dump in the first 10 minutes of the first episode
I hate sci-fi exposition
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 21:54 (five years ago) link
Just make it through the first 2-3 episodes and I promise you'll get into it.

I think you'd like it by the middle of the first season,, Shakey. I didn't like the first few eps either, but it does pick up.
― remy bean, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 22:05 (five years ago) link
Yeah. Me and my wife gave up after the first ep. I went back and ended up getting hooked. I finally convinced her to give it another shot and she binged 2 seasons in like one week.

I've watched the first season and read the first book, and dug them both. But should I carry on with the books or the show???
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 21:12 (five years ago) link
FWIW, I watched the show first. Started in on the books but bailed out somewhere in book 2 - I'm super-snobby about my SF so that was not unexpected.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 06:48 (five years ago) link
I kind of feel that having read the books ruined this last season for me.
― Deontology Sanders (Leee), Monday, 8 October 2018 20:29 (five years ago) link
But which would you rather have ruined?

Recommend the audiobooks. Jefferson Mays pretty much nailed the characters prior to the broadcast series' casting. Just listen far enough in advance that you've largely forgotten the details before airing. The books aren't timeless classic, just better than average space opera, but if you like the universe and characters, the books add to the immersion, particularly with respect to Miller in S1-S2.
I expect that that the broadcast series will take enormous divergences with the content of book 4, Cibola Burn, which is by general fan consensus the least-liked book. I think pretty much all of book 4's contribution to the overall arc could be provided by reading the handful of pages upon which the word "Miller" appears from an ebook. Several of the novellas offered more backstory than book 4.
My hope is that S4 will cover Cibola Burn as a half-season, alongside some material presaging book 5-6 arc within the solar system, and the wider book 7-9 arc that's still emerging. This still leaves enough time for another entirely novel narrative amidst the Expanse, beyond the rings, as well as ending S4 after a book 5 cliffhanger.

Guess it was kind of inevitable once Amazon stepped up to save the show.
And all future seasons will be on Prime
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 20:10 (five years ago) link
My impression is that Amazon also obtained rights to S1-3 from Netflix in jurisdictions where it formerly aired. There's going to be a big marketing push over the next 6 months or so.
