Yes, better than most.
Season 3 should be on later this year, but dates haven't been announced.

Agreeded. Own both seasons of the Expanse. Just got done binge watching Altered Carbon. Really hope they do another season of both.

I have really enjoyed it and looking forward to Amazon finally putting the second season on prime.

It's on Prime now, couldn't remember if it was going up on the 6th or the 7th, apparently it was the 7th.

As for is it good? Yeah it's the best sci-fi on TV right now, and the best since Firefly. (BSG would have gotten this except for the last season)

I really enjoyed this.  It's a film noir sci-fi horror series.

I think the only misstep was the casting for the Marine SNCO.  The sullen, petulant, fatbody they cast was ridiculous.

In March 2017, Syfy renewed The Expanse for a 13-episode third season to air in 2018.

Yeah, I'm still mad at them for Dark Matter, too.

The Expanse is still a better series and is still in production, for now, anyways.

Finished season 2 last night, they really leave you hanging.

I like it, I like the ships, I like the Epstein Engine and I like the way they did up the whole show.

There's nothing too far out there and the show is mostly political with really cool spaceships and a portrayal of life in the future.

Really top two favorite shows on currently. Game of thrones is even with it in my opinion, but im more science oriented when it comes to scifi. To much scifi these days has no science behind it.

The way I'm reading that is 12 Monkeys was the one renewed for a 4th and final season, if they meant the Expanse was then that's some really sloppy writing.

I just can't say no to Gunny Sgt. Draper.

Even if she does look goofy as hell walking around New York.

My only complaint was I could never figure out the persona for the Alex Kamal's character. One minute he seems to be just a normal character and then the next minute he's a rootin' tootin' John Wayne character. It tended to be a little distracting.

Mars was primarily settled with people from India. A small group of colonists from Texas joined them. The Texas culture/identity spread like wildfire, probably tongue in cheek initially. He plays off of it, like someone with Irish heritage yucking it up during St Paddy's day.

The Mariner Valley in the books is settled first by a bunch of Texans, then by a wave of Indians and Chinese who pick up the accent. The music Alex listens to is supposedly a mix of country and indian pop music.

I bought the blurays after being on the fence about it and found it to be a great show.

I think the great thing about this show is how real it can really be. This isn't hundreds of years into the future like Star Trek with warp drives and teleporters, this is within humanity's reach.

Developing a drive that "only" goes 3% of the speed of light can get us to other planets in weeks and the edge of solar system in months.

The biggest thing holding us back right now is the cost of sending men and material up into space, as soon as we can find a way to do it  cheaper (SpaceX continues to improve the price) there's no holding back.

I like it.

The first season was a bit slow at first as they set the plot and characters. The second season is excellent. My son is an avid science fiction buff and gave me the second season in DVD. When the third season is close I'll re-watch Season 2 so I can be ready to continue the story.

If you are on episode 5 and it hasn't gotten good for you, it's not your kind of show.

I think it's outstanding Si-fy, good science, good cgi, good story lines, just all around great.

The premise was very good, except they soon apply the hollywood addiction formula to it. Same endless hooks, and resolveless spins that copies the psychology machine that all tv shows now follow. Like LOST, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones.... All plays to your emotions, and cliffhangers for more adrenalin and dopamine. Endless twists until the mass moves to the new hipper hook machine and the ratings slowly die off.

The books are very good (ignoring that the latest essentially stole its entire premise), but the show is rather meh. The episode "CQB" saved the show from cancellation, I'm reasonably sure. But the days of amazing sci-fi are gone, so one must take what there is to take.

The author of the series said she was as if they had reached in his brain and created his character in the flesh. He thought she was perfect.

I'm neutrally inclined towards her looks, but she is a terrible actress that doesn't do the character justice at all.
