Review of The Expanse

The Expanse (2015–2022)
10/10
Easily the best sci-fi series of all time
4 May 2021
I think I watched or tried to watched most sci-fi series out there, even the more obscure ones. There's often a trade-off. You can get good production values, but bad cast. Or good cast, but bad storytelling/plot. Etc, etc. The Expanse has it all. A deep, intriguing plot, that keeps you glued, a deeply satisfying world, smart politics that will not insult your intelligence, complex and compelling characters.

How on earth did SyFy decide to cancel its only good sci-fi show, is beyond me. SyFy was a swearing word for serious sci-fi fans, as it tried to go after the mainstream audience, so when it launched The Expanse, we were all pleasantly surprised. Thank god, Amazon decided to earn some points with the fans and banked the final seasons.

The only problem I had with the show is that it takes some time to remember what was happening in the previous seasons when you watch the new season after a 6-12 months break. But once you get back to speed with it, the story flies.

This is the best sci-fi series, period. Thoroughly enjoyed it and eagerly waiting for the final season.
