You missed the realism. This show tries to be as accurate to real-world physics as possible.
Exactly! No artificial gravity (beyond inertia), realistic physics, it's a joy to see the details they include.
I know you were being colorful in the vid, but it bugged me when you'd say things "interstellar" or talking about the whole galaxy (minor nitpick).
Eh only so far as the human techs concern.
Gate builder tech gets screwy even if its still technically bound by physics and when you deal with the things that killed them you can toss out the physics book.
@@vonfaustien3957 Thats kinda the point.
@@bighara its pretty consistent, but sometimes due to budget limit when they are supposed to be in zero g and their hair/clothes don't float that really bug me. It is budget constraint i know but it still bugs me, you can't have julie opening scene throughout
@@vonfaustien3957 , whilst that is true, it only augments the story, as the show establishes real world physics, lulling you into a false sense of security, only to add the ring builder stuff, defying expectations. And they don't screw it over after the reveal, it's not something that the crew learns about in 5 minutes flat, throughout the series, it stays a (mostly) mysterious force, which adds some new consistent in-universe rules.
"I am that guy" -Amos
Amos, has become my favorite character.
-followed shortly by shotgun to evil scientist's face.
he’s a freaking badass
No no no I’m that guy
Yes sir
Only 10? Expanse is the best show on now. It is a breath of fresh air in a sea of toxic crap.
Let's hope that Expanse will be an example and inspiration for newer sci fi books, movies and TV shows, so we'll witness new golden age of SF
I've watched it 4 times since February.
Ist so
The best season in my opinion is 3, not that the other seasons are bad I just like 3 the most.
If mean by no changing the status quo and enforcing Earth and Mars surpremacy meanwhile the Belt struggle is really ground breaking, Holden is the perfect centrist hero, sympathic to the struggle of the Belters but not want to change the status quo. Remember when Sadavir Errinwright turned super villain at the end of Season 2? Or the fact that he totally vague about his motives to going to war for Mars even with his clear connections to a corporation? Remember when even Chrisjen Avasarala defended corporations? Even that one of them open the Pandora box and created a conflict at the solar system scale? That definitly ground breaking.
The opening credits are bad ass as well. I don’t think I ever skipped them.
One of a very few shows where I really enjoy the opening credits. If you pay attention to them, as major events change the opening credits change aswell.
@@FevnorTheWolf Westworld's is pretty cool as well.
I made the theme song my ring tone a few days after it came out. I'm still not tired of it...
I got another reason; Errinwright is such a good opponent to Avasjerala. He was a "villain" that could at some level be understood; IMO, it is easy to dismiss someone like errinwright as a warmonger, but paranoia between nuclear armed super powers is a very real phenomena and he was a very well made personification of that problem. But also, Errinwright was a real force to reckoned with and displayed such good acting skills all the way along.
Never skip the credits.
I love all factions in the expanse
United Nations: Earth must come first
Martian congressional Republic: Mars will prevail
Outer Planets Alliance: BELTALOWDA!!!!
I love them all
The Expanse is one of the only works of fiction where I simultaneously hate and love every faction.
Forgot about the alien goo, machine, poison, energy eating, gate building, totally wasnt gonna kill everyone on earth faction.......
Noah Cederlund the opa: we will play both the inners and outers against each other
All the factions are "themselves must come first".
Dillon Brunschon It’s a matter of geography. NATO countries are first world, Soviet Union and its satellite nations are second world, and everyone else is third world.
#8 is one of my favorite things about The Expanse. There are no "Bad Guys", just antagonists. All the characters have valid reasons and motivations for what they do.
I strongly disagree. I just binged the series and I found 1-dimensional protagonists and antagonists galore. The characters are not very good with the exception of Amos who is completely awesome and saves the series.
You need to watch it slower next time, if you think Amos is the only character with depth. I agree that Wes is doing an awesome job with his character, he's not the only one doing so.
@@CallsignJoNay Christjian and Miller don't have depth? lol I don't know what show you were watching.
Once they introduced Marcos Inaros near the end of the series, that's when they gave us a new antagonist
There certainly WAS a BAD GUY . Marco Inaros . Everyone Else was relatable though , sure .
Ben: "I wish it took a few more chances and had higher stakes."
Expanse season 5: "Hi."
oh boy. oh fucking boy.
Totes. Nemesis Games and Babylon's Ashes blew me away -- I cannot wait!
Down the scotch and grab your crotch. They're going for a ride. I just hope they pull it off good.
I really gotta listen to the audiobooks
Oh, Season 5 will be seriously awesome because the stakes will be at a level we have never seen realistically portrayed in science fiction on the big or small screen.
"Imma take my pet nuke for a walk" is one of the best lines in scifi
I love when Bobby and Alex are arguing, James Saya "well this is going well" and Amos says "the Martians are bonding". Kills me every time.
I think another reason the Expanse is so good is because of the heavy use of real life physics when it comes to space. Obviously the Epstein drive and the high G juice is a plot device but it is still all based in real physics when it comes to ships traversing the solar system. It is by far the most realistic sci-fi show when it comes to internal ship layout, use of inertia to provide artificial gravity when in flight, the concept of flipping and burning to get where you need to go and a bunch of other really well thought out concepts they included in the show.
Real physics makes The Expanse stand out from the crowd. My first exposure to the show was a clip of the Battle of Thoth Station in Season 2. It was stunned by how epic, tense, and thrilling a fight between two spaceships could be.
Another plus is The Expanse doesn't get bog down in the science. It's believable that character in-universe wouldn't offer a dull lecture on how an Epstein Drive creates gravity. The characters view an Epstein Drive as mundane as an internal combustion engine. As a result, The Expanse can focus on compelling stories.
The fact that low-gravity will affect human biology/evolution is another thing I've never considered. This show really does cover all aspects of space travel/colonization.
I am actually really surprised this didnt make the list. This is easily one of my favorite things of the show. That scene where youre on the asteroid with the detective and he watches the bird gliding around flapping its wings like a 3rd of the speed you would expect was a really nice touch.
Same thing with the flip and burn maneuvers to slow down, and the unconventional ship layouts by scifi standards to take advantage of the acceleration of the engines to great faux gravity.
Icing on the cake was the realistic space battles where high speed debris from damaged or destroyed ships is lethal if you are too close
@@frederickweaver2691 Great battles, the only thing that is implausible from a technological PoV (not a physics PoV) is the consistently through-and-through penetrations of projectile weapons. Terminal ballistics is a rather complex field, but suffice to say that even in modern times, there are a variety of different ammunition types for different targets and purposes. You don't want to waste most of your kinetic energy having it blow out through the back of a target, and yet you also don't want to fail to penetrate against harder targets. Against a softer target like the Rocinante, her opponents really ought to be loading something like SAPHEI-T/SD or something.
its just fantastic, you got it my friend
It asks the questions, it doesn't answer them for you.
That's how all entertainment should be. A good story will always ask questions about the world in the effort to get people to give societal matters serious thought, but when they tell you what to think instead of stimulating your own thought processes, this is when it stops being a story and starts being a sermon.
Well said, Joshua. That's what impressed me about The Expanse, which became my favorite show, period.
favourite show man it was really good and also up to date
Agreed. Anderson's speech to Miller and the Belter on Ganymede who tells Naomi "you still got work to do" are among the best sci fi scenes which ask questions, but don't answer them, ever filmed.
sadly, this is what happend to most of todays movies and tv-shows, the art was turned into propaganda

I only discovered this series last week and finished Season 4 yesterday. This was the biggest surprise to me. I started off interested, then liking it then completely loving it by the end and left wanting more. Hands down this is the best Sci-Fi series I have seen in probably decades. There are a few qualms I have with some of the plot points but they are so completely overshadowed by what I love about it that I don't even find them worth mentioning really. The character development is superb and they don't rely on retelling the same story every season. Every time I think they must have gone as far as they could go with the story, they introduce another path and off we go again. It's so refreshing to see a real Sci-Fi show again. I can't believe it took me so long to find it. This should be on every Sci-Fi lover's watch list.
Dare you to watch it again lol no seriously, you'll pick up on even minute or finer details and clues the characters or environment give off to whatever is unfolding. I've rewatched 3x and still find new details in reactions:)
@@starsnmoon5936 Let me second your comment. The Expanse had a lot of entertainment value in a re-watch due to hindsight enabling me to see the import in what I had thought were unimportant scenes first time around. It will make you appreciate even more how immensely well-written this show has been.
Now that you watched it go get the books or audio books and you will see that show is just a tip of the iceberg compared to what books have to offer
I also like that the stories are different in each season. It's like real life that way. Everything is each year builds off all the years before.
Babylon 5 was the high point of science fiction for me. It has everything The Expanse has except for the special effects budget and newer technology. I love The Expanse and will need to watch all its seasons before deciding if it is better than Babylon 5.
American Ben, if you love the show, you'll be blown away by the books. People complain about season 4, but an understanding of
season 4 is critical to understanding the stakes behind what's to come. And as the saying goes, "you ain't seen nothing yet". I've
read all 8 books and I'm waiting with baited breath for book 9, which, sadly, is suppose to be the last in the series.
Also, the actress who plays Bobby Draper is a trained competitive amateur boxer which is why she throws a punch like she knows
what she's doing. She does.
Great punches, terrible push-ups tho. Maybe I'll check out the books thx dude. ✌🏻
@@GenerationFilms Definitely check the books. Took me about a week to read all 8, couldn't stop reading!
I was so delighted to learn that my favorite science fiction book series was so well adapted for tv
Right hooks are easy to dodge unless there's multiple blows coming at once.
Good form stance but the only reason she'd get away with it is cos she's the sergeant.
Chrisjen is, also, very tame compared to the books. But she certainly comes alight in the 4th season. Love the interaction between her and Amos.
The Expanse is what you get with creators that are talented, immerse themselves in sci-fi and take the time to tell a good story. Shows like Discovery and Picard feel like creators unfamiliar with the genre who were there to collect a paycheck.
It doesn't hurt that it is based off an awesome book series.
@@Metallic-Sun I was just about to say the same!
If you think that you hadnt seen many science fiction show, the one thing that The Expanse, Discovery and Picard have in common is never actually adressing the real issues, sure they would throw you platitudes and buzz world at you, complain that the system is broken, but they never actually do something to change the status quo or never explain why the system become this way, that what happen when you have genre that is very political since it incepcion and make it run by corporations.
@@TheKeyser94 Given the grammatical nature of your response, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and clarify this point. My critique was never about addressing social or real world issues (i.e. discrimination is bad, class privilege), while it holds no personal appeal to me I don't judge those enjoy that aspect of sci-fi. What is glaringly obvious are the inconsistencies of poor storytelling due to unfamiliarity with the source material (metal sword in a world with phasers, soap opera YA romance, Irish Romulans, the clearly 20th century vernacular). To my mind it's like a Starbucks cup showing up in Westeros x1000. :)
@@LazyDIY1 I wartched like mid season of Picard, and never, ever, adressed why the Federation become bad, just the usual thing of xenophobia and racism is bad, the obvious, duh, but apart from that, never clarifies, never explain why the Federation become this bad, and for Discovery, at least they quickly dropped the Klingon war arc when they received the rightfully critic that Star Trek is a fucking anti-war TV Show, Discovery all what it does is promote war in Season 1, but it was replaced by shallow and superficial nostalgia, they could do better, and The Expanse is huge pile of nothing, totally empty of any kind of ideology or philosophy whatsoever.
As a long time Babylon 5 fan, who had been putting off watching The Expanse, I must say... This is the best sci-fi/space opera, I've seen since, well... since B5 (probably better, but it' been my benchmark story-telling for over 30 years.) The Expanse has advantages that JMS could have only dreamed of, and from the writing on down, they consistently nail it. Glad I waited, so as to watch 4 season in a little over a week, no drop in continuity. Looking forward to season 5.
Aye on that!
Babylon 5 is my benchmark too.
Season 5 and 6 are fantastic too!
“How bout’ now, I’m free right now”....nuff said
Go ahead, make my day punk.
@@BuckTravis yep different words...same message
"Needs more risk/consequences." Oh you sweet summer child. Season 5 will be amazing.
I wrote this 2/15/19 on Facebook. ""The Expanse" is arguably the best science fiction series that I have ever watched. It has everything, mystery, romance, political intrigue, people you don't expect to die, do, people you want to die, don't, and space! The comedic elements run the gamut from bathroom to very cerebral. In all, it is a well thought out narrative on the human condition. With a nice twist at the end."
you forgot Camina fucking Drummer. shes my favorite character and the reason i will never watch it with the german dub. the Belter slang and especially when she talks is way to awesome!
Yassss! Thanks for the upload! This show has dominated my quarantine experience. And I agree, when Ashur shows up things get good. I hated the guy in Spartacus, but I realized that he's just that good of an actor. And I love how Amos is just the right amount of detached sociopath to be lovable. Looking forward to more of your Expanse videos.
So true about Ashur!
He was great in Rome.
But seriously can we get something saying how much of a badass Drummer is? That's one Beltalowda I'd gladly serve under.

Hello yeah brother
You treacherous we humans will protect the Holy Terra
No galactic voids or racing around the stars or interstellar travel - this is set in our solar system (at least the first three season) and all the places they go and see are REAL. On of the directors who was new to the show, ask why Eros looked that way, it wasn't right - then someone pointed out that the picture of eros he was looking at was a REAL picture and that Eros was a real place - and that's how it actually looked. Would have loved to learn his reaction. This basic grounding in reality is one of the things that make it great!
Ah Si!
Remember Clarke's Law. There's nothing "mystical" about the Protomolecule. It's just higher tech than the characters initially understand.
Fudd's first law.....
Damn, not one mention of my girl, Drummer.
"Ok, so you want me to shoot him" Amos
A oasis in a sea of shit! That is perfect. There is so much sci-fi out there; BAD sci-fi, everytime I get burned watching a show (Netflix's Lost in Space). I turn back and rewatch seasons of The Expanse and I am happy again. The science of the show, the writing, the characters, the acting, and the look is what every hardcore sci-fi fan wants. Good video.
This show looks really cool, and I’ve been meaning to check it out. Fun fact- the awesome Canadian prog-rock trio, Rush, in at least two of their albums, feature a spaceship called the Rocinante flying around space and eventually into a black hole. That’s MY reason #11 to watch!
I started watching because i heard that it was really scientifically accurate. when the ships stop moving > there's no gravity; if they stop moving to quickly > there's a whole lotta you all over the inside of the ship; those born in lower gravities can't handle higher gravities. that was what got me to start watching
Tell that to Maneo *snicker*
@@LtCWest yeah, that dude has a PHD in rapid deacceleration from the University of Splat
@@mikepope5570 As sick as this may sound, I still get laughing fits just from the rapid disassambly of his face xD
@@LtCWest Damm that was rough Ugggh.
When the ships stop accelerating there is no "gravity". When you stop accelerating you keep on moving in the same direction.
*THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVEN'T WATCHED THE EXPANSE?!?!*
I am a " Firefly" addict and I only watched the first 3 episodes of Expanse before I got bored and switched off.. But now, I just ordered Series 1, 2 & 3 today based upon this video.... I am looking forward to see how this show evolved.
@@lancearn7332 well whats your opinion now? Did you enjoy it?
@@lancearn7332 That's where you screwed up. Episode 4 is when the show gets unbelievably awesome. Zero G decapitation! It doesn't get any better!
i only started watching 3-4 weeks or so ago. binged all 4 seasons within a few days. right now im rewachting it.
Pity the fools.
You simply nailed it here. I'm glad you gave it a second chance.
The expanse is amazing.
So glad someone else loves this show. I cant get anyone to watch it because of the first 2 episodes are kinda slow. But is soooooo good. Makes me wanna learn belter but I would have no one to speak it too. Good video 👍🏾
Ya its a cool mix of South African accent with Dutch and Spanish words.
My friend and I stumbled across the Expanse when looking for sci-fi shows to watch, not having even heard it existed, sometime during the airing of Season 2, and now both of us have read all of the books. The Expanse, along with Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica, are by far and without question my favourite things ever. For anyone who hasn't read the books, has only watched the show, or just started watching, all I have to say is keep watching, things are going to get wild.
Cept Expanse is betta Aye!
Honorable Mention........
Season 1 & 2 Is the Closest we will see of a Live Action Mobile Suit Gundam TV Show.
Eashkabahbah
Thanks for posting this episode! I love The Expanse and I think it's waaaaay underappreciated. Keep up the content.
P.S. Nick Tarabay reminds me of Temuera Morrison (aka Jango Fett). Both are hardcore dudes in-universe and have a certain swagger to them.
Hahaha I LOVE this video so much!!
And I love you for the Nick Taraby shout out!
Still bitter about losing Cotyar.
I needed wayyy more Team A B C!
I was a fan of the books first, but the show gives me everything I'd hoped for when reading them, and hoping someday we'd get an adapt.
It's the series I'd been waiting for since I was 10 yrs old.
Glad you finally made it aboard Ben!
Welcome :)
Oye belta!
Read the novels.
Is the audio book available
@@taddmaxwell8363 Yes. currently listening to book 5 now. Book 6 to go. Think it was on Audible
Book 9 supposed to come out this year 😎 show is finished up to around book 4 you think it’s good now lol... just keeps expanding, gets better and better can’t recommend enough reading these books. Compliments the show so goddam well
tadd maxwell yes I have all 0f them
Went looking for this comment. Read the books, they fill out so much that is missing from the series.
Series 5 and 6 are going to be interesting, anyone that has read the books will know what I mean.
1:19 and that's right there is why you guys are gonna last. People who willing acknowledge a mistake and correct it shouldn't be so rare...
Oh God I'm so glad you made this video. I only started watching the Expanse within the last year but its already my favorite sci fi show of all time
Thanks I’ve been looking for something like this to watch for a long time .
we neeeeeeeeeeed season 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah
@Daniel Schulken Just finished Wrath. Excited and scared of the next just coz it will end the series :/. Hopefully guys will expand it in the same universe.
Yeah soon the sistem will know why is bether that the UN keep bog dow by it sheer weight and logistical inedequacies.
100000 % hopefully soon
It´s currently in production,patience beltalowda.
I think you may have overlooked a big point... scientifically speaking it’s the most accurate sci fi show possibly of all time. Inertia is real, gravity is a luxury, water is the most precious resource etc
Most have moved on since "Gravity"........
Best Expanse review that I've ever seen! Great job 👏
Welcome to the churn beltalowda! Great too ten to make the case for folks to check it out. Hopefully in the lockdown it find more viewers as we all want for season five.
The Martian pilot and Amos in the bar is one of the most endearing scenes for so many reasons.
AhSi
"Could have had higher stakes."
Eros: Am I a joke to you?
And since Earth was smitten???
I LOVE The Expanse! I have watched Sci Fi since the 60’s and this is the greatest show I have ever seen. The books are fabulous as well. Thank you for your coverage, I hope it brings more viewers to this under appreciated gem.
Haha yes first viewer of the video, I absolutely love this channel.
my major complaint with the show is more a quibbling over the fact that the aesthetic was altered in places here and there... mostly because they had to, I know.... The Belters' very obvious physical look was obviously going to have to change (I am assuming that Hollywood isn't busting at the seams with seven and a half feet tall emaciated people to play all the belters floating around...) Dominique Tipper is WAAAAAAAAAY too short to actually be Naomi, but since she acts THE HADES out of the role, I'm not complaining... just an example of how things had to shift. I felt like Holden and Amos were both aged DOWN from how the book described them, but I might not be remembering that just right. A bigger complaint again is the way the book sort of took a, I don't know, bottom to top approach, in showing the plot unfold which helped pace it better than the show pulled off... I think it's just a difference in medium playing out, but it's a major reason I like the book better than the show.
Like I said, it's mostly quibbling, and understandable... every person everywhere should watch the show.
Holden was youngish, but ... my mind is blanking... the pilot... good grief, i need to watch/listen to audiobook again.... he was older.
@@rhoetusochten4211 Alex was definitely supposed to be 35-40. It might make sense though because it's relatively advanced future so aging could be treated away.
There's a scene or two where they've put in the work to show a fully stretched out belter (suspected saboteur) captured on Earth. I think the way the show portrays people so they look normal to each other makes it more relatable.
@@TealJosh Alex does actually look forty, if you've halfway looked after yourself.
That is the sole reason I tell people first to watch the show get the picture and then feel the real thing and get blown away by how books kill everything that the show didn't quite manage to capture
Notinz perfec
13:54 in ss3 they killed 2 million people & in the ss1 fenale (as I'm pretty sure you you watched) it actually showed what happened to the people on Eros, ain't things like that dark enough for ya
American Ben,
Superb video.
I was first exposed to the show when I saw a clip of the Battle of Thoth Station in Season 2. So, I decided to give The Expanse a shot, but was disappointed by a slow beginning in Season 1. However, by the fourth episode, I saw all the setup paying off and I was hooked.
Thanks for the shout out to Nick Taraby, who I never heard of until now. What talent! I'm definitely following this guy's career.
You also zero in on how The Expanse uses story to make the audience asks questions instead of being preachy. That's another thing that quickly appealed to me.
Finally, the protomolecule is the most brilliant twist on alien tech and first contact with aliens I've even seen.
So, welcome to The Expanse, and I look forward to more videos.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment!🙌
@@GenerationFilms
You're welcome.
Very glad you gave it a second chance! I love this show and will keep telling people to give it a try.
Me too.
Unfortunately most people never make it past episode 2 and say they didn't enjoy it. I just laugh at what they are missing out on.
@@MarkSmith-pb2xn that's actually what happened to a friend who really loves BSG. I liked how it started mainly because I heard how realistic the show was going to portray space and how things would work in space. So I really don't mind how it begins.
I started watching the Expanse because of this video. Came back after I finished to leave the comment.
Hi😁✌🏻
I've been binging The Expanse during the COVIDz, it is indeed great. Highest recommend.
Excellent review, thumbs up !
I was going to give this a like but I think I’ll have to wait until I’ve seen at least four more of your reviews.
Seriously, you couldn’t see that this was top notch production from the very beginning?
OMG, you are the first reviewer I've seen who recognized the influence of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers on this program. Higher stakes? Have you watched the third and fourth seasons yet?
Ah Si!!
Asher from Spartacus was soo damn good, the fact this actors in this show has already convinced me to watch it.
One of very few TV shows that I have rewatched multiple times. Bearing in mind how young it is that's even more a sign of the sheer quality and depth of it. It genuinely REWARDS rewatching. So much depth as well as utterly awesome characterisation. I love the fact that space actually feels dangerous and that the protomolecule is so alien. We are watching a true classic being made much like the protomolecule making the gate and who knows where it will take us?
sssssooo glad you finally drank the cool=aide LOL..... yeah man you hit on the nail on your points.... its a great show.... super bummed that season 5 just ended.... but what a great adventure to watch... some of the scenes from this season had me on edge.... LOL, i haven't read the books so i don't know whats gong to happen... i like it that way!! cheers!
As a die hard Star Trek fan, who also watched Star Wars & Battlestar Galactica, *The Expanse is the best of them all.* It starts off with a lot of world building, which some may find tedious at first, thinking this is bathroom break dialog. Only to realize you need to re-watch those episodes later, after realizing this is a well written show, not filled with fluff, to satisfy subscription quantity episodes.
Never a better simile: "Like drinking from an oasis in a desert of shit". You got yourself another subscriber.
a big TY for this recommendation. I've heard a lot of good things about The Expanse ... Ok, _fine_ , I will look it up. 😉😁
(I didn't watch Picard. Now I am glad that I missed it 🤯😉. I'm a big Patrick Stewart fan but I didn't think his character had enough depth)
You are all so good at critiking space lore in all the world... the format of this show is top notch
A modern show with good writing and interesting characters... that isn’t”woke “ and preachy ???
I’ve gotta check this out .
Try to take time with season 1. After that it's what he says. It will give more and more. :D
It's brilliant, give it a chance because it's the best out there at the moment by a long way.
It isn't woke and at the same time, have very badass and very well written female character that aren't badass because they are female but because they are really well written and played.
soon... another Belter Beratna ... perhaps
did you watch it?
Can you do 10 advantages/flaws videos for the Roci, Donnager and the Stealth ships please?
Yes.
@@GenerationFilms
Woo
@@GenerationFilms I would like to recommend the channel "Spacedock", Daniel the creator and main host of the channel worked closely with the Expanse team to create many info pieces about the ships of the universe.
Cool thanks. Allen and Ben's(American and British), please make a video about your favourite real military combat equipment and gear in different movies?
the Expanse, dethroned DS9 as my favorite Sci-Fi Show by a long shot. And those who've seen DS9 know how great it is.
My heart still beats for Trek, because I grew up with it, but my mind can't let go of the Expanse, I'm so excited for S6!
The Rocinante took cues from Firefly, its not (supposed to be) bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
Technical perception is a limiting factor in most Sci Fi, La
I was the same way, tried watching it then just stopped. It a great show and well, it doesn't hurt that I think that marine is hot...
My two fav characters are Klaes Ashford and Camina... whereas the rest of the belters drive me nuts these two are great characters and actors. The dynamic between them is 10/10 enjoyable in every scene they have together. They both have this super high intensity esp Camina that's really impressive and it translates well to the way they act out the characters. Amos is a close 3rd.
The characters are my main reason for adoring this series! Amos Burton is my favorite character in all science fiction! Then Camina Drummer, and Bobby Draper! The the actual physics of space travel! “Flip and burns” and high G maneuvers are absolutely terrifying! The Expanse is my favorite sci-fi series EVER!
Thanks for turning more people onto the Expanse. It is a criminally underrated show!
Yes, Amos is that guy. :D
i love Amos
One option that most people immediately reject when confronted with interpersonal conflict is to pull out a gun and shoot the other person in the head. There are probably a lot of good reasons to reject that option, especially if you live within the strictures of a law-abiding society. Amos lived outside that society all of his life, and he continues to do so in the violent world of The Expanse where being part of a crew of a nuclear missile-equipped Martian stealth destroyer insulates him from the legal consequences of shooting people in the head. It helps with the "love Amos" ethos that he has not yet shot anybody that didn't need to be killed. We all love instant justice. It is heart-warming in a world where actual justice through the court system is either not obtainable, or something that takes years to play out.
You summed it up perfectly. I just binged 3 seasons in 2 weeks 😃
great analysis!
It's a show that shows when you put some effort into you get a really amazing show. Something most networks aren't willing to do unfortunately
Good Point JD
The expanse: I'm that show.
Simply the best science fiction series ever. As a physicist I especially appreciate the attention to detail associated with respect to getting the science as accurate as possible while maintaining the pace of storytelling. Absolutely the best.
Not just the best sci-fi series but the best series I’ve ever watched
"Higher stakes" - so 100+ billion people in S1, 3 billion in S2, everyone in S3, and the future of interstellar colonisation in S4 is not high enough?
Gunny Draper, along with her right hook, is my favorite "The Expanse" character
Ah Si
This is your best video ever!
As I listen to you rave on about the Expanse, I then reviewed my experience of binging the series 4-5 times; also as a delivery driver Ive listened to the books the same amount and each time I discover new threads and nuances. Ill probably listen again soon.
Thanks for the comment, feel free to check out our other vids on the Expanse, you might find them interesting! I'd be interested to hear your feedback given how well you must know it by now!
This show is so good, it make it seem realistic but still science fiction
an huh
As someone who hasn't seen even a single episode or trailer, this to me look visually like a precursor to halo. The proto molecule makes me think of the precursors or the flood.
Maybe the flood was inspired in the Expanse books
People have said if you're a fan of halo or mass effect then watch the expanse cuz it's like the live version of it.
i will be waiting for the videos i seen the show since started and is one of my favorites first miller then bobbie and of course amos are the show for me
This show caught me by surprise, it is breathtaking.i love how this show makes space dangerous. People complicated and world leaders say " F*&$" just really creative. Binged it in a week and now in withdrawal. Nice review.

"I am that guy."
The Expanse is worth the watch. Cannot recommend it enough!
And yes Bobbi Draper is Awesome
Can't wait for season 5!!!! 🤩
Fabulous rundown... My faves 1 - Amos 2 - Bobby 3 - Avasarala 4 - Camina
but jeez soo many of the others so memorable.
the physics. you forgot the physics .
Yeah, if you're not taking in the amount of realism injected into the show, you not getting your moneys worth in this series. It's like watching a James Cameron film and not commenting on the special effects.
@@petersmith6513 well, the characters are awesome even if you forget the physics
@@rodrigobogado8756 Absolutely, but so are the characters in The Wire, What makes The Expanse so unique and necessary watching is the detail they put into the environment.
@@rodrigobogado8756 Aye, they meet the edge halfway for the betta
I've seen the expanse seasons a few times. It is the best sci-fi on TV in a long time....
I was hooked from the 1 episode, this was the syfy show I've been looking for, for years!
The Expanse only gets better with every new season ❤!
welcome to the club ben!!
All I need is season five...
You forgot about the way the show uses inertia.
Maybe He hasn't seen it yet, let Him be surprised
@@antonmikhailovski7949 it's one of the central aspects of the show
Have you ever sailed?
@@calchase I try to avoid water since it's the only thing my death sense doesn't work on.
Watched the show, read the books and then watched commentary like this to relive it all again. I always thought I was a Star Wars person. I know now that I am an Expanse person to the core.
One more thing. I always thought Gaius Baltar had an awesome arc of hybris/fall/redemption. Amos has indeed one of similar magnitude from psychotic beginning to finding a moral compass in others, to developing his own guiding moral sense. It was a joy to watch.
GREAT RECOMMENDATION
