    It's pretty ok.

    I know the source material is top notch, and this is one of the few ok SF shows out there at all, but the direction and acting could use help. Effectively, the presentation has much too much of meaningful stares, dramatically delivered lines (think I am not a X, I just play one on TV) and crew members explaining things to each other or finishing each others sentences    It's pretty ok.

    Effectively, the presentation has much too much of meaningful stares, dramatically delivered lines (think I am not a X, I just play one on TV) and crew members explaining things to each other or finishing each others sentences when in a real world situation they either would have kept quiet because they already understand or the most knowledgeable character would have delivered a concise explanation without interruptions or switches.

    Space ships and space combat are also handled a bit irrationally, with ships maneuvering in impossibly tight quarters for all the wrong reasons.    … Expand

    In a broad sense the show lives up to its name, but season 2 proves it can be as intricate, and intimate, as it can be expansive, and in those lovely details of its well-drawn characters embattled with deliciously complex moral choices, The Expanse soars.

    On the whole, the series is one I’d mainly recommend with an “if you like this sort of thing” caveat (as opposed to BSG, whose appeal transcended space operatics). I happen to be someone who likes this sort of thing, but The Expanse season two is a much better version of that thing now that everyone knows what’s up and can take action accordingly.

    The Expanse continues to match its most far-reaching concepts with deeply human stories rooted in a politically torn culture on the brink of war. It’s some of the most compelling, intelligent and immersive genre fiction on television, and it’s back in peak form.
