"The Expanse" series from SyFy

Post by Ranthe »

Anyone else seen this series? If you haven't, I highly recommend it!

It includes the most realistic space-combat scene I've seen in SF for... well, ages:

And here's some Oolite-y vibes of leaving a station in this clip!

Seems it's on Netflix, Not that I use that either.
The first season has aired, 10 episodes and has been approved for a season 2

I watched the first 2 episodes, as they came out. They were 10 months apart?? seemed a bit slow but got the impression it was doing more about character development. So decided to wait for the first season. Then do my usual and binge watch it like a movie. Well a ten hour movie, better set up the supplies.

Had totally forgotten about it till seeing it here.
LOOK OUT!!!

You could switch on to the books! Once the TV set the visuals, the words just ... make it better!
