As the weekend approaches, I sense the need in the universe for some people to find a new TV show to binge watch.
If you fit in this category and havenât yet watched The Expanse, give it a try. If you are a BSG fan and havenât seen it yet, start tonight. If you like sci-fi, drama, space opera, global political intrigue, underdogs, detective noir, the risk of mass extinction, and believable human history a few hundred years in the future, this one is for you.
Thereâs a ton of setup, so you need to hang in there for the first five or so episodes. As the friend who referred me to it stated, itâs âBoring boring PROTOMOLECULEâ¦â You get there quickly enough.
There are three seasons, and Amazon just picked up the fourth, so there is a lot to catch up on along with a future. And, after reflecting on it compared to our current geopolitical situation, itâs easy to assert that ânothing ever changes.â
