I've kind of been sucked back into the Sci Fi channel and started watching the Expanse. The first two episodes have aired, and the pilot is readily available on Youtube. It looks pretty good so far.

I started watching this and had my DVR set to record the series. I got through the pilot after two sittings and then started on the second episode and watched about 15 minutes before I was bored to tears and cut it off. I was really hoping for something that would suck me in, but no such luck.

I'm glad The Expanse is back!

This is the show that has resurrected the SyFy channel for me.
Is anyone else watching this show?
-
If this is the show I'm thinking it is, I watched a couple of episodes last season and I just could not get into it. I really, really wanted to. I may try to get back into it.

You know, I saw a few ads for this, but couldn't recall the name or what channel it was on whenever I had time to actually watch it. Do you have a brief summary of what it is without major spoilers? I'm still trying to catch up on Arrow and Flash, and would like to check Legion at some point, but I'd check this out if the premise is good.

I can't remember the last time I watched the SyFy channel.

I believe it was a few episodes of Caprica for me until I tired of it.

Yeah, that was probably it for me too. Looks like about seven years since that show started.

"12 Monkeys" and "Face Off" both very good shows

The Expanse is pretty good...if not very user friendly sometimes. Those belter accents and teeny screen fonts that are hard to read...tycho station, jupiter
Most of SyFy's shows are mediocre, but not as bad as some have been. Dark Matter and Killjoys are okay. Incorporated was decent. Defiance was fairly good but got canned after 3 seasons.

How are they when compared to the Sharknado movies? ;)
Is that the Syfy standard of measuring good show?
-
Oh yeah, I guess I've seen parts of all the Sharknado movies, so I guess I have watched some SyFy in the past few years.

I'll admit, the first Season is a bit of a slow burn. Basically, humanity has colonized the solar system. Earth and Mars are the superpowers, with the people in the asteroid belt (the belters) caught in between them. There's a third faction out there that is trying to get Earth and Mars into a full scale war...but you don't find out why until the end of the first season.

One of the shows I binged this summer was The Expanse. I kept hearing about it but never took the dive until COVID gave me so much time this summer.
This is such a well-crafted TV show, really loved it. Looking forward to watching the new Season 5 episodes this weekend! :)
-
This will definitely scratch my sci fi itch now the The Mandalorian Season 2 is done.
-
I've been reading the books and absolutely love them.
I want to watch the show but am going to wait until the last book is out next year... I have a mental picture of this universe and don't want the show to alter that first.

Are all seasons on Prime, or where do you stream/watch this? I'm looking for something new to watch this winter as I sit on the stationary bike / walk on the treadmill.

Amazon Prime is where I watched it. They have Season 1-3 (originally from Syfy), then the full Amazon produced Season 4 and the first few eps of Season 5 dropped today. (or yesterday?)

I keep seeing ads for this and it looks pretty good. Worth investing in 4-5 seasons of it?

Absolutely! Best pure Sci Fi on TV since Babylon 5!
-
I’m telling you guys, read the books!

Trailer for season 6 looked pretty solid... I'm definitely excited to see this come back in December.
It'll be interesting to see how they move on from the end of season 5 and the surprise unceremonious death of one of the leads due to the actor getting fired (omitting name for spoiler sake). By all accounts it seems like it was the right decision, but I will miss the character and will be real interesting to see how the writers move on.
