I think I finished Ep 2, and realized it was absolutely terrible. Netflix sure is reaching out to the SF crowd, but their misses about double or treble their hits.

Got 20 minutes into Ep1...I couldn't do it.

Garbage.

They managed to make a scifi series with Katee Sackhoff unwatchable. Quite the achievement.

I also tried to watch it and could not. total SJW bullshit including token transgender "person" fuck Netflix.

Almost did last night, but watched Hunter killer instead.

Sounds like I made a good choice.

Haven't yet. I watched The Boys on Amazon Prime over my weekend, and was going to try this next. I'll give it at least one episode probably.

Netflix content sucks. Their original series are generally terrible. Were it not for my kids enjoying a couple series, I would cancel. When their lease on Parks, the Office, Mad Men and the like expire, there will be a mass exodus. That and competition from other streaming services. It's not looking good for them unless they hire new content directors and start putting money where it needs to go, rather than crap SJW comedians and former politicians receiving payout for screeching at their clapping seals.

When they have a good sci-fi series (Travelers) they can it. This crap will probably go 6 seasons.

Tried to watch it last night. My wife ripped it apart and went to bed before we finished episode 3.

How did a series this terrible get made? Who would put of capital for "Instagramers in space"?

The most important mission in human history and we send 20 somethings with no discipline and no chain or authority?

No way. It has a 4.7 on IMDb. A show has to be an abysmal POS to get a 4.7. The highest ranking demographic is 18-29 year old females, at a 6.0. That's not going to sustain an ongoing series.

I'm still watching because i hate nice things.

Update: i don't usually quit on the second to last episode of any series much less a 10 episode one but its just too gay to proceed, even the one cute chick getting gang banged had to have hairy pits.

I have watched two episodes.
When their humongous ship lost power and they claimed that they would run out of air in five hours ...
Maybe five days.

Where do they get the "writers" and advisors for these things?

Now I understand why Netflix no longer allows user comments on the various shows.

I'm watching episode 2 as I type this. It's not great, but I will probably watch a few more.

I usually don't get hooked on series. I tried to watch The Walking Dead and barely made it to season 2. Breaking Bad was meh at best. The "fly in the lab" episode was complete stupidity. I only finished all of it to say I had done it.

It's really fucking bad.

Posted: 8/6/2019 2:49:52 PM EDT

I didn't make it out of episode 1

Some of you guys must be a glutton for punishment

Probably has to be the laziest sci-fi I've ever watched

Society on earth looks like it would in about 2025, except they have massive faster-than-light speed ships that for some reason still need gravity assists from stars and by the way, we can communicate via instantaneous holographic video ignoring the laws of physics. Ignores the time dilation that occurs when you travel at light speed and beyond, I presume.

Add in the SJW bullshit and its just a steaming pot of fermented horse shit

Have no fear. Season 4 of The Expanse is coming this fall/winter, and was just renewed for Season 5. Cibola Burn was one of my favorite books and I can't wait to see them bring that story arc to life in season 4.

I considered it, then looked up reviews online. I think I found only one positive review, and it gave it a positive review for all the wrong reasons.

Netflix is starting to get into a bad slump in that their in house shows are drastically dropping in quality. They are also pulling the plug on several of their newer shows because of that, and I imagine this show will get the axe shortly.

Posted: 8/6/2019 3:48:27 PM EDT

I fast forwarded through maybe 2/3 of it. I always do. Whenever stuff gets boring or to philosophical I just fast forward. You rarely miss anything crucial. The end got good and I am looking forward to another season.

I watched the whole thing. The first few episodes were hard to stay with but it did get better towards the end to the point that I actually wanted to stay with it and finish it. With that said, it's still horrendously incompetent.

Choosing a set of 20 something drama queens to crew the most important mission of all time. The earth based operation to study the alien artifact looks like a moderately funded archaeological dig at best. Each episode is comprised of a series of unfortunate mishaps which do very little to actually advance the greater story with only a few exceptions.

My bottom line is that the general premise of the series is really great. Who wouldn't want to explore the idea of what happens after finding evidence of an intelligent alien civilization on some theoretically reachable system? The way they actually went about executing it is another matter all together.

It's a bummer because the final episode sets up a potentially massive fictional universe where you could really go to town with Season 2 and beyond but who the hell is going to stick around with the same clowns filming the next installment of this turd?

I get they had to fill 10 episodes. It would have been far better if it was arranged like this:

Episode 1: Characters are introduced, artifact pops up on Earth's sensors and finally touches down at the end of the episode.
Episode 2: Artifact is explored, Earth starts making plans to send the mission
Episode 3: Mission preparations are made and the ship launches by the end of the episode
Episode 4-9: Basically compress the voyage from 9 episodes to 6 episodes
Episode 10: No changes to the basic plot.

Of course, you'd still have to fix the shitty casting, directing, and writing but it'd be a start.

It was a huge missed opportunity for them to have 10 episodes to fill yet literally cut right to the chase within minutes of Episode 1 starting...and the chase lasts for 9 more episodes.

I dropped Netflix a few months back. For the most part there content sucks. I might sign back up for a month to watch season 3 of Stranger Things but I haven’t decided if it’s worth it.

These threads got me to give the Expanse another try. Lost interest the first time 1 or 2 episodes in. This time I got to season 3 before I just couldn't give af anymore. They killed the cop (only likeable guy on the whole show imo), the self righteous douche from Montana is with the smart, saucy black genius woman (

), the quiet tough white guy is completely subservient to the female POC for mysterious (and likely asinine) reasons, the muzzie/hindu pretends to be a cowboy, the other female POC's are both 2 dimensional af, hindu secretary lady is perfect and the only one in politics that doesn't do deep state shit and sounds like an 80 year old man, and the angry Martian Marine Sergeant... god she's the worst of the bunch. Besides scowl, does that bitch even do anything?

Oh and the only good guys from Earth, the fleet admiral and the former Marine now leader of the Belters- both black males. Noble and self sacrificing af, ready to sacrifice careers to do the right thing. We're done here

The writers just jumbled up every sci-fi trope they could think of...not a single original idea in the show. Total garbage.

He kinda sounds like a liberal, obsessed with race, and intersectionality.

It's a good show, with an exciting plot, great SFX, and pretty likeable characters. I don't care what race they are, nor do I care how they interact. Holden, the captain, is a reluctant leader, and the "black chick" is just a natural leader. Shit like that happens all the time in the real world. Hundreds of years from now, humanity will all be brown anyway.

Watched just because of Sackhoff, but it was baaaad. I can't believe they gave it a second season.
