    It's a great final season. They didn't mess it up like GoT did. I'm really satisfied with the writing and how well the character arcs and decisions shine through. It's just a bit disappointing that they didn't have a new pilot, but I understand that there wasn't a good way to fix it. Some might find the pacing a bit slow at times and a bit too fast towards the end, but I liked the overallIt's a great final season. They didn't mess it up like GoT did.

Some might find the pacing a bit slow at times and a bit too fast towards the end, but I liked the overall pacing because it gave the characters more room. This is one of the few series I'll still rewatch in 10 years because it doesn't grow old, just like BSG. This series is like a reflection of our today's society and where it will end if we don't fundamentally change. This future (with or without the proto-molecule) will be inevitable.… Expand

    An amazing final season that sticks the landing. The final season ranges from spectacular action sequences to intimate great character moments that are built on 6 seasons of great story telling. The performances from the cast in particular was outstanding.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've got to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by the last season of The Expanse. I knew going in that it had a reduced episode count of 6 and I was a little worried about this. Thankfully, I would say that, on-the-whole, it was quite a satisfying conclusion to this odyssey of a series. I have some qualms about the Protomolecule sort of taking a backseat as the series went on and, if i was being a little harsh I see parallels to how Lost slowly veered away from its mystery in favour of character drama.

    Outside of the mystery of the Protomolecule falling a bit flat, I feel most of the other stuff in this season was pretty good. I liked the culmination of all the character's relationships with each other and the story beats felt well foreshadowed and not requring huge amounts of suspension of disbelief. The CGI in some of the eps felt a little ropey considering this is on Prime and thus I would imagine has a large-ish budget. But overall, it was a fun watch.

    I don't feel The Expanse quite lived up to its potential in earlier seasons but that's largely due to how good it was at its peak. I still enjoyed my time with it and would have no hesitation recommending it to Sci-Fi fans. One of TV's greats in this genre alongside shows like Battlestar: Galactica if you ask me.    … Expand

    And yet another great season and the series finale, this series is truly among the best sci-fi works ever.
    Congratulations on amazon doing a good job of science fiction.

    It’s not exactly unfinished business, but this season — particularly in its last couple episodes — is marked by the confidence of a show that’s got six seasons under its belt and still doesn’t particularly feel like stopping, no matter what any official announcement might say.

    For most of its running time, season six offers up the same exhilarating mixture of brutal physics, impossible situations, and wry humor that’s kept The Expanse an ongoing concern almost from the start.
