So it's like Star Trek mixed with Blade Runner and everybody has grey skin and the guy from The Punisher is walking around in a fedora
I think I'm going to pass on this

Your loss. I can imagine people dropping it later but can't imagine the type that passes on s1.
season 1 is terribly directed. it's extremely boring, unless you're engaged by the world building alone. or, I guess, if for some reason you're invested in the personal story of the fedora, a guy who's a creepy incel loser, the character is completely salvaged by thomas jane's charisma. if they'd cast some other guy in that role the season would've been on thin ice. especially with supporting cast like chrisjen avasarala, who is possibly the ugliest woman, with the ugliest voice, delivering one the ugliest performances that I've ever seen or heard in my entire life
the directing gets better as the show goes on. too bad everything else gets worse. right up to the final season where everything is trash.
>unless you're engaged by the world building alone
That was the main bit that got me, yes
>a guy who's a creepy incel loser
lol
>lol
on paper he is, jane's performance just contradicts it
I said it gets better, until the last season which had great scenes like the asian piss lady clawing a guy to death
>on paper he is
You're really going to have to qualify this, show your work. Being lonely and falling for some girl he got hired to find without ever meeting her doesn't make him an incel.
seasons 1-3, when they were at the mercy of ratings, were excellent. The rest ranges from average to mediocre
doing book 4 is what fricked them, 1 whole season on a sidequest killed all their momentum
Yeah season 4 and 5 were a slog to get through, especially because the best moments happen when the crew is all together. Season 6 felt like a return to form for me though. There just weren't enough episodes.
>BEROOOZ
It’s trash what do you mean, did you get tricked by the undeservedly high production value?
seasons 1 - 3 are fantastic, it constantly raises the stakes every episode and accomplish a great blend of politics, character drama and action. The show gets progessively better up until the end of season 3. After season 3 it gets much slower and meditative and I understand why people don't like it, but it still works for me. It's just different.
To say it's terribly directed or keeps getting worse just shows how awful your taste is.
>make everyone an overly aggressive butthole to everyone in every encounter
yeah great character drama. This shitpile even managed to make jarred harris look bad by forcing him to sound like a moron
good call
It's not really like any of those things. I don't think miller's hat is a fedora either.
Altered Carbon S01 gave me some expanse vibes it was good shit.
Made me read the books. It was nice.
Yes, every scifi show is like star trek and you should pass on them. Go watch barbie instead.
I got hooked from the poo female using normal gravity to torture the belter
They have been deceiving people for years about this shitty show. People must be real desperate for a good space opera that’s new the way this got overhyped
Absolutely seething that people like something not marvel or star wars
>People must be real desperate for a good space opera that’s new
Always, but that doesn't make this a bad show.
The Expanse is great, get over yourselves
It’s not, frick you and whoever told me to waste my time watching it
Preach it, brother.
the only thing this guy can do is squint his eyes
every time i see him i think of that image that's been posted for like 10+ years of the chihuahua standing on hamburgers
In fact, here it is
>african scientists want to sleep with this
homie needs some goddamn contacts
Who isn't desperately craving a good space opera? It doesn't get better than that.
I know which is why average shit like expanse gets overhyped cause there are no more good space operas
setting is great, execution kinda lackluster at points
and I'm only halfway through s2, from what I've heard, it's gonna take a nosedive in quality as well
It's consistently average aside from the really boring season 4.
Just watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes
LoGH is different type of show, space is secondary there
It's fun and is as close to hard sci-fi live action as you are going to find anywhere this side of Outland. Once Jane stops showing up, it's time to go... Maybe before. Nothing good lasts forever, the good bits get further and further apart after the protomolecule apocalypse. The last season isn't a season, the season before that doesn't really work except for Otis.
The problem is that it's just too bland.
It's like it never really goes all out in anything it's attempting to do.
The character drama is daytime tv tier.
The space stuff is just perfunctory.
The politics are moron tier.
Most of the acting is again, daytime tv tier.
The overarching alien plot is so slow and generic that it's not even worth investing into.
I get that the show overall scratches a particular itch but literally every part of it is done with a bare minimum of effort.
I’ve never seen more of a waste of high budget production tv ever, imagine SG1 or something like that had this budget
The alien storyline is one of the least generic around and very interesting. As are the aliens themselves. And humanity's expansion into the solar system and the drama that causes is very compelling. As well as what finding alien life/usable technology would do to the various groups of humanity. There's nothing bland about it and it's FAR more realistic, mature, and interesting than things like star trek and star wars
> There's nothing bland about it and it's FAR more realistic, mature, and interesting than things like star trek and star wars
you sound like a 15 year old who watched his first adult themed fantasy show and now thinks he’s more mature than the trekkies
Then a space hick literally blows up earth with help from mars, and earthgov is like "eh, whatever"
imagine 9/11 except it's a nuke and also it hits 60% of the cities in the US, and while of course we all know that t his would actually be a good thing now because cities are evil, setting that aside for a second the US' response wouldn't be 'turn the other cheek'. It would be to glass the entire middle east, israel probably included just to be sure.
nobody acts like a human being in the expanse. it's an autist with terrible theory of mind's puppet theater.
>The overarching alien plot is so slow and generic that it's not even worth investing into.
Sir if you would like to go ahead and dutchman yourself the dark gods would like a word.
I've watched season 1 twice with the intention to keep going but I always stop early in season 2. I don't even do it consciously I just notice that I haven't cared to watch it for months. Maybe if Thomas Jane wasn't gone I would care more.
He's not gone, you dumbshit
oh shit I just looked it up. I was thinking of his death at the end of season 2 I guess, and I had no idea he comes back
Finish the show! At least end season 4
I might. It's not like it's a bad show just a little boring sometimes
Yeah it looks good once you remove the blue and high contrast filter they apply to everything.
More Jared Harris would have made it a 10/10 show. One of the greats.
Murtry did nothing wrong
Earth must cum first
Why didn't famous amos ever frick the indian lady
>and the guy from The Punisher is walking around in a fedora
Easily the best part.
