You can't change my mind because you are wrong if you don't agree.

It's better than all the campy, cheesy, sjw infected star treks.

It's better than Stargate which got really stupid.

It's better than firefly, even though firefly was a decent show.

I admit I haven't seen battle star Galactica. But it's probably better than that.

It's also better than the star wars movies taken as a whole. The original 3 are good films but the rest dilutes the quality.

If you haven't seen it, go on Amazon prime. It is really well done.

I'm watching it currently. Jury is out on if it beats Altered Carbon, but I think that yes, I'd agree it's so far the best space sci-fi I've seen.

Battlestar Galactica is better.  Sorry.  It just is.

We are rewatching it right now and it's phenomenal. Acting, storyline, grittyness, way above any other sci-fi movie or series.

I liked the shit out of Altered Carbon. I think they're apples and oranges though.

Damn. I forgot altered Carbon. That is a damn good show as well, but the Expanse is better.

Yeah, that's why I separated The Expanse as a "space sci-fi" and not just generalized sci-fi. I think technically in literature it'd be a Space Opera.

Watched season 1.  Have no idea what's going on.   But then again, I'm normally tanked watching it.

Gonna re-watch it not tanked this winter when things slow down.

It's so much more than scifi.

It's a saga that seems grounded in reality. Especially since it is set in the near future and in our solar system.

Physics is what puts The Expanse above all the other space sci-fi for me.

BSG is also awesome.

It's been 10yrs since I last watched the ending.   I remember being dissapointed,  but I know now halfway through season 4, I'm still absolutely stunned at how good this entire series is.

Character development and writing is topnotch.

My hope is that with age and wisdom,  I might enjoy the ending.

Its a must watch. Even watch the ending. Ending is bad but didnt leave the bad taste in my mouth like GoT. Ive watched BSG through 3 or 4 times. I have no desire to watch GoT ever again after that dumpster fire.

Op is ignorant. The Expanse is a decent TV Sci Fi show. But, not the best.
The best TV Sci Fi  show is easily:

Is it better than Firefly?

I don't know.  It's different from Firefly.

They're both space sci fi, but it feels off to compare the two.  Stargate as well, for that matter.

Those shows are science FICTION, but the expanse feels more like science FUTURE... like that is really what space travel will be like.

Eh, just my opinion.

Full disclosure... the Expanse in only the second tv show that I wear t shirts that reference.... the first was firefly.  Jury is out on whether my Pur Kleen shirt is cooler than my Blue Sun shirt.

The Expanse is out fugginstanding, I love the way it's done.

You really should watch Battlestar Gallatica though. The first couple seasons are really, really good. The last couple and ending are so-so.

It's available on Amazon Prime, same as the Expanse......

We must not have watched the same show.

There was no strong woman putting a man in their place, mary sue, bullshit like Star Trek or Star Wars.

There was a bitchy old UN politician who was honest when the rest of the UN was a corrupt oligarchy, but she was useless in a fight.

There was the badass Martian space marine, but she was a super soldier and there were other badass men, like Amos.

The captain and pilot of the Rocinante were dudes. Miller, the grizzled detective was a dude. Hell one of the heroes, Fred Johnson is a businessman.
There were lots of awesome roles, no forced SJW bullshit.

There are three reasons Firefly was better.

Morna Baccarin
Summer Glau
Jewel Straite

If you disagree you might be gay.

They are hot as fuck. This is true. Princess Leia was hot as fuck too.

Doesn't make the story better.

Also, Serenity is the best space western of all time.
