Excellent show! Well done Alcon and SyFy!

“The Expanse unfolds across a colonized galaxy”

Actually just a colonized Solar system. One of the great things about it is its adherence to real world physics – so no faster than light travel.

As Paul B said ” so far…..” The current setting is the Solar System, but if the series remains faithful to the novels that may change. Then again…maybe not!

It’s a great series. Forget what they say about what age groups like this show. I believe that all of them do. My wife and I are in our fifties. We love it and so do our daughters in their 20s.

Netflix shot themselves in the foot for providing a lot of money for foreign rights but only getting the show after the season has finished on SyFy. And after everyone has already streamed it from illegal sources. That model just does not work for genre shows.

It’s worked for over five years for The Walking Dead on Netflix.

Hi, I’m from Brazil, I’m watching the second season and loving it. Nice move in renewing this indeed. The story is very plausible for an immediate future. We may already have a mining station on Ceres (the Ice) and in next 100 years sure we have a colony on Mars, that in future could want the independent.

* want to be independent (i missed the preposition on my post, sorry).
