silicon age tulpa added,
the expanse is not terrible that's pretty far from "great" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kBwFPSa54w …
in tv sf "not terrible" might as well be great
So I keep hearing good things about the show and still don't know anything about it, which is fine, but seeing now that it's had four seasons and Amazon has "saved" it by giving a fifth season, I'm very curious to know: Do the producers have an end in sight? How many seasons?
it's based off of books. Everyone (by "everyone" I mean, pop culture SF outlets, not "hard SF fans I know") LOVED it. I read the first one. It was ... fine. Pretty derivative. It was diluted Niven hard-ish SF with a bit of noir detective stuff, plus nanotech + Alien movie >>
now, I KNOW that everything under the sun is made up of tropes. Can't get away from it. Tropes are the molecules of fiction. BUT I read the first one, and I saw 4 or 5 tropes stitched together with thick bailing wire. Nothing original in the mix. /shrug >>>
so I watched the series. First season was B-. Had some high spots, but the actors were mostly soap-opera grade, the world building was all obvious, the FX were SyFy grade. Purchased 2nd season. ...and never finished watching it. Too bored.
we're back to de gustibus, etc. these are all fine criticisms, but i don't see, for instance, how they don't apply equally to every other scifi tv show ever made
THEY DO! PRETTY MUCH EVERY SF SHOW EVER MADE SUCKS!
Agree, except swap "TV" for "SF"
eh 90% of written SF sucks 99% of filmed SF sucks
