The problem that we face with a lot of science fiction tv shows is that it is going to take an unusually high budget to be able to pull it off especially if the scenes that are filmed are meant to take place in outer space frequently. The simulation of zero G is going to be really tough no matter how you look at it, and when I watch a show like *The Expanse* I can appreciate what they are trying to do but I also rea…More

Caliban’s War (S0213) Airdate: April 19th 2017 Written by: Daniel Abraham & Ty Frank Directed by: Thor Freudenthal Running Time: 44 minutes *The Expanse*’s second season finale maintains the series’ tradition of naming its concluding episode after the corresponding novel in James S.A. Corey’s source material—a practice established with *Leviathan’s Wake* in Season One. This structural homage, however, belies a signi…More
The Monster and the Rocket (S0212) Airdate: April 12th 2017 Written by: Mark Fergus & Hawk Atsby Directed by: Robert Lieberman Running Time: 44 minutes It has become an almost axiomatic truth within contemporary prestige television that any ambitious work of speculative fiction, daring to scale the heights of epic storytelling, feels compelled to mirror *Game of Thrones* in its embrace of labyrinthine political intr…More
Here There Be Dragons (S0211) Airdate: April 5th 2017 Written by: Georgia Lee Directed by: Robert Lieberman Running Time: 43 minutes Following the relatively quiet, almost meditative lull of the previous episode *Cascade*, *The Expanse* decisively snaps back into its signature rhythm with *Here There Be Dragons*. Eschewing contemplation for fractured urgency, the episode masterfully reignites multiple narrative engi…More
Cascade (S0210) Airdate: March 29th 2017 Written by: Dan Nowak Directed by: Mikael Salomon Running Time: 42 minutes While *The Expanse* rightfully thrills with its meticulously rendered zero-G combat, intricate political machinations, and the relentless propulsion of its space opera narrative, the series possesses a deeper strength in its willingness to occasionally throttle back. It recognises that the vastness of…More
The Weeping Somnabulist (S02E09) Airdate: March 22nd 2017 Written by: Hallie Lambert Directed by: Mikael Salomon Running Time: 42 minutes It is the nature of epic television series to feature those grand, emotionally gut-punching and action-packed episodes that represent their creators at absolute peak form—moments that become indelible in the viewer's memory and define the series' legacy. Yet inevitably, these mast…More
Pyre (S02E08) Airdate: March 15th 2017 Written by: Robin Veith Directed by: Kenneth Fink Running Time: 44 minutes By mid-Season 2, *The Expanse* had firmly established itself as television's darkest space opera, teaching viewers that in this meticulously crafted universe, the most extremely unpleasant things could happen to multitudes of innocent people with terrifying regularity. This series' unflinching commitment…More
The Seventh Man (S02E07) Airdate: March 8th 2017 Written by: Georgia Lee Directed by: Kenneth Fink Running Time: 44 minutes *The Expanse* stands as arguably the finest original space opera television has produced in the twenty-first century, a sprawling, scientifically grounded epic that redefined the genre's possibilities on the small screen. Its intricate political machinations, authentic physics, and deeply human…More
Paradigm Shift (S02E06) Airdate: March 1st 2017 Written by: Naren Shankar Directed by: Dave Grossman Running Time: 41 minutes Much like the preceding episode, *Home*, which functioned as a de facto series finale by conclusively resolving the central *Leviathan Wakes* storyline involving the Eros asteroid and the protomolecule's initial outbreak, *Paradigm Shift* operates with the distinct aura of an ersatz season pr…More
Home (S02E05) Airdate: February 23rd 2017 Written by: Mark Fergus & Hawk Atsby Directed by: Dave Grossman Running Time: 46 minutes The chasm separating merely good television from the truly exceptional often resides in a creative team’s willingness to defy expectations, to shatter the very formulae they themselves established. Few series demonstrate this audacious spirit as profoundly as *The Expanse*, a show which,…More
Godspeed (S02E04) Airdate: February 15th 2017 Written by: Dan Nowak Directed by: Jeff Woolnough Running Time: 40 minutes Each episode of *The Expanse* operates under the stringent constraints inherent to premium television drama: a relatively brief running time of barely forty minutes and the non-negotiable requirement that every instalment conclude with a compelling, often breathless, cliffhanger. This structural t…More
Static (S02E03) Airdate: February 8th 2017 Written by: Robin Veith Directed by: Jeff Woolnough Running Time: 40 minutes After the first season, even the most ardent admirers of *The Expanse* must acknowledge that even the most ambitious science fiction productions face inherent budgetary constraints. These limitations become particularly evident when attempting to visualise worlds fundamentally different from our ow…More
Doors & Corners (S02E02) Airdate: February 1st 2017 Written by: Daniel Abraham & Ty Franks Directed by: Breck Eisner Running Time: 43 minutes In the high-stakes universe of *The Expanse*, where the fragile equilibrium between Earth, Mars, and the Belt teeters perpetually on the brink of annihilation, events unfold with a velocity that often leaves scant room for the nuanced character exposition or immersive worldbui…More
Safe (S02E01) Airdate: February 1st 2017 Written by: Mark Fergus & Hawk Otsby Directed by: Breck Eisner Running Time: 43 minutes The very title *The Expanse* evokes a sense of vast, almost overwhelming scale – a sprawling solar system teeming with distinct cultures, conflicting ideologies, and intricate political machinations. It is, fundamentally, a saga where the sheer magnitude of its setting means that no single…More
Science fiction is a tough genre to push on the masses. Outside of Star Wars and perhaps to a lessor degree Star Trek, it has historically proven to be a very risky venture for companies that spend a bunch of money trying to make some sort of epic show or movie. If you look up the biggest failures of cinema of all time, a great many of them are science fiction and this is probably because since almost none of what t…More
Leviathan Wakes (S01E10) Airdate: February 2nd 2016 Written by: Mark Fergus & Hawk Estby Directed by: Terry McDonough Running Time: 40 minutes *The Expanse* has long stood out among space operas for its unflinching embrace of darkness, both in its narrative tone and its thematic exploration of humanity’s capacity for cruelty. This grim sensibility is particularly evident in the first season, which culminates in a fi…More
Critical Mass (S01E09) Airdate: February 2nd 2016 Written by: Robin Veith, Dan Nowak and Naren Shankar Directed by: Terry McDonough Running Time: 40 minutes *The Expanse*, particularly in the episode *Critical Mass*, presents a haunting portrayal of space as a profoundly dark and unforgiving environment. The creators of the series consistently remind the audience of this bleakness, effectively encapsulated in the pe…More
Salvage (S01E08) Airdate: January 26th 2016 Written by: Bill Johnson Directed by: Robin Veith Running Time: 43 minutes The eighth episode of *The Expanse*, titled *Salvage*, represents a pivotal moment that many viewers of Season 1 had been eagerly anticipating. This episode rewards their patience by resolving one of the show’s grand mysteries and bringing together two of the three major storylines that have been de…More
Windmills (S01E07) Airdate: January 19th 2016 Written by: Stephen Lawrence Directed by: Bill Johnson Running Time: 42 minutes The seventh episode of *The Expanse*, titled *Windmills*, stands out as a compelling narrative that, while not heavily laden with action, masterfully intertwines suspense and worldbuilding. This episode excels in its ability to juggle multiple storylines, each of which is poised to converge i…More
Rock Bottom (S01E06) Airdate: January 12th 2016 Written by: Jason Ning Directed by: Robert Lieberman Running Time: 43 minutes The sixth episode of *The Expanse*, titled *Rock Bottom*, may not be laden with too much action, yet it excels in world-building, particularly in its portrayal of the Outer Planets Alliance (OPA). Previously depicted as mere loudmouth radicals or petty local gangsters, this episode reveals th…More
Back to the Butcher (S01E05) Airdate: January 5th 2016 Written by: Dan Nowak Directed by: Ron Lieberman Running Time: 43 minutes The fifth episode of *The Expanse*, titled *Back to the Butcher*, stands out as one of the quieter installments in the series, utilising its relative lack of action to deepen world-building and character development. The primary plot of the episode revolves around the survivors of the *Can…More
CQB (S01E04) Airdate: December 16th 2015 Written by: Naren Shankar Directed by: Jeff Wulnough Running Time: 42 minutes The fourth episode of *The Expanse*, titled CQB, is undoubtedly one of the most impactful and action-packed instalments of the series up to that point, featuring a spectacular event that would have far-reaching consequences for the characters and the overall narrative. This pivotal episode marks a s…More
Remember the Cant (S01E03) Airdate: December 16th 2015 Written by: Robin Veith Directed by: Jeff Wulnough Running Time: 43 minutes The third episode of The Expanse, titled *Remember the Cant*, marks a significant shift in pace compared to its predecessor, as it opts for a more subdued tone with substantially less action. However, this decrease in action is more than compensated for by a notable increase in world-bui…More
The Big Empty (S01E02) Airdate: December 15th 2015 Written by: Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby Directed by: Terry McDonough Running Time: 46 minutes The second episode of *The Expanse*, aptly titled *The Big Empty*, presents an intriguing, albeit not always successful, compromise between action-packed suspense and world-building exposition. This delicate balance is a hallmark of the series, and *The Big Empty* is no exce…More
Dulcinea (Pilot, S1E1) Airdate: November 14th 2015 Written by: Terry McDonough Directed by: Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby Running Time: 45 minutes *Dulcinea* is a very solid and intriguing pilot episode for ambitious and, as it later turned out to be, successful and long-running television series. Originally slated for 10 episodes, the series, based on the *The Expanse* series of science fiction novels by James S. A. C…More
A blast from the past. I'm ashamed to say I never heard about this show until recently but glad I got to binge-watch the entire 6 seasons in 2 weeks. As a lover of everything sci-fi and futuristic, I'm so pleased with myself. Source The Premise The Expanse is a sci-fi built around the assumption that humans spread to other planets and built entire worlds for themselves on these planets. So we have humans on Earth kn…More
Hello, This sixth season is the last one, as announced by Amazon and consists of only 6 episodes. source source *The Expanse volume 6 "Babylon's Ashes", written by James S.A. Corey* Both authors are fine with this decision and they've taken care of the ending of the series, although there are rumours that the rest of the books could be adapted as well, since the story isn't finished and there's still a lot to explor…More
Hello, We had a few scares during this season, sometimes with good reasons, as we won't see certain characters anymore. *Nemesis Games, The Expanse volume 5, written by James S.A. Corey* We will learn a bit more about the character of Amos Burton in this season. We already knew that he was from Baltimore, but we had often heard that the gang leader Amos Burton from Baltimore had died 20 years ago. So we got the expl…More
Bonsoir, *The Expanse tome 6 "Les Cendres de Babylone", écrit par James S.A. Corey* Cette saison 6 est la dernière, comme annoncé par Amazon et se compose de 6 épisodes seulement. Le duo d'auteurs est d'accord avec cette décision et ils ont bien soigné la fin de la série, même si des rumeurs courent que la suite des livres pourraient être adaptés également, puisque l'histoire n'est pas finie et qu'il y a pas mal de…More
Good afternoon, Well, there were only 10 episodes in this season. *The Expanse, volume 4 "Cibola Burn", written by James S.a. Corey* In this fourth season, there were again many things happening at the same time. By the end of season 3, proto-molecular ring had opened up and provided access to many solar systems. The ring allows humans to enter interstellar colonisation era. Colonists from the belt have settled on t…More
Bonsoir, On a eu quelques petites frayeurs lors de cette saison, parfois à juste titre, puisque nous ne reverrons plus certains personnages. *Amos Burton (Wes Chatham), James Holden (Steven Strait), Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper) et Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar)* *The Expanse tome 5 "Les Jeux de Nemesis"* Nous découvrirons un peu mieux le personnage de Amos Burton, dans cette saison. On savait déjà qu'il venait de Baltimo…More
Bonsoir, Ah ben, il n'y avait que 10 épisodes dans cette saison-ci ! *The Expanse tome 4 "Les Feux de Cibola", écrit par James S.A. Corey* Dans cette 4e saison, il y avait, à nouveau, plusieurs choses qui se passaient en même temps. A la fin de la saison 3, plusieurs anneaux proto-moléculaires s'étaient ouverts et donnaient accès à différents systèmes solaires et donc à une colonisation interstellaire. Des colons ce…More

Hello, Here we go for the second season, with 13 episodes, which means 3 more than in the previous one ! I noticed I didn't tell you this serie is adapted from the books written by James S.A. Corey, which is the name of the association of the 2 writers Daniel Abraham and Tyler Corey Franck. The first volume was "Leviathan Wakes" and the second is "Caliban's War". It corresponds up to now to the tv-serie. I saw there…More
Bonjour à tous, La saison 2 se compose de 13 épisodes, soit 3 de plus que la saison précédente. Je ne l'avais pas précisé dans mon article sur la 1ère saison, mais cette série est adaptée de la série de livres éponymes, écrits par James S.A. Corey (nom de plume utilisé par le duo formé de Daniel Abraham et Tyler Corey Franck). Je n'ai pas lu les livres et ne compte pas les lire. *Tome 1 "L'Eveil du Léviathan" de la…More
Hello, We watched it on Prime Video (Amazon). The sixth season is now available and when I saw the trailer, I remembered that my husband already watched the 2 first seasons without me, as I don't like the movies and series in the Space. But knowing he often watches series and movies (like the Chronicle of the Bridgerton, for example) which are not at all his kind of things, I decided to watch, ad minima, the first s…More
Bonjour la compagnie, Nous avions vu la bande-annonce sur Prime Vidéo pour la sortie de la saison 6 de cette série. Comme cela se passe dans l'espace, je n'avais pas été intéressée par cette série et Ithara avait regardé les 2 premières saisons sur son pc, en 2017. En voyant la bande-annonce de la saison 6, je me suis dit que ça pourrait tout de même être pas mal, si je fais abstraction de l'environnement. J'ai donc…More
Source English Español The Expanse is one of the longest-running scifi series of recent times. It started as a production from Syfy and after 3 seasons they canceled the show. This isn't the first time Syfy cancels a popular series despite the fact many fans still want it to continue. Several years ago, they also canceled what was an excellent horror anthology series called Channel Zero, it was one of the most origi…More
La quinta stagione ci ha confermato come, pur diminuendo il minutaggio del protagonista, The Expanse sia prevalentemente un prodotto corale, capace di esaltare i personaggi tutti ed esaltarsi grazie alla loro crescita. James Holden è il capitano di questo team di valorosi condottieri dell'umanità in senso esteso, uomo capace di intercettare i bisogni di terrestri, marziani e cinturiani e distaccarsi dalla fame di po…More
3077 caratteri fa ho iniziato una recensione/analisi su The Expanse. Arrivato ad oltre 3100 mi rendo conto di non aver ancora veramente parlato di The Expanse. Bene... Spero comunque che il mio entusiasmo e le mie allegorie vi abbiano fatto capire che questa serie tv fantascientifica, prima di SyFy e poi di Amazon Prime Video, merita attenzione e rispetto. Tratta dalla saga letteraria omonima, firmata da Ty Franck e…More
Se domani mattina, malauguratamente, dovesse cadermi un pianoforte in testa, direttamente dall'ottavo piano di un vecchio palazzo del centro, lasciando il mio corpo terrestre esanime tra tasti neri, e bianchi, e corde sbrindellate, all'angolo fra un carrefour express ed un negozio di di sigarette elettroniche, il "me stesso" seriale potrebbe dirsi in pace ma anche spezzato da un rimpianto enorme.

Source Last night I finished watching the new season of The Expanse and I have to say this is the season I have enjoyed the least. The Expanse is a series set in the future, where humans have not only colonized Mars but there are also huge populations living in smaller celestial bodies such as moons of other planets. The series has an important political theme but it is mainly about scifi and action. The political s…More
Season 3 of this show was one of the coolest scifi action production I have ever seen. The latest season is a little bit slower and not as exciting. The story in this season is about looking for the origin of the protomolecule and its creators. This protomolecule has been present since the beginning of the show, but in each season we learn more about it and its potential also increases as time goes on. First, it loo…More

I have never watched a space series before with the exception of the Mandalorian. I know this topic is very popular and there are tons of examples but I have never really decided to try one of these shows. I was kind of tempted when the new Star Trek season "Picard" came out, but since I have never watched this show I simply decided to pass it. The Expanse is an interesting series and I have been reading a lot of go…More
I've been hearing about this show for the last 4 years or so. I've heard about how it's "scientifically accurate". Of course, I'm very skeptical about that phrase as it almost always leads to disappointment. I kept putting it off... till it was canceled. I almost ended up watching it then, but just before I planned to, Amazon renewed it. Meanwhile, I realised that actual scientists were hyping this show, so my skept…More
Ok.the first time i watch only the first 2 episodes. But i stopped because syfy made the series.
