This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 4 Review: Up until season 4, Expanse was the best sci-fi series on television (definite 10). This last season they took what was an immersive galactic masterpiece and turned it into an extended Star Trek-style away mission. The threat of the ominous yet portentous protomolecule were replaced with green space slugs and eye gunk. Complex/omnipotent antagonists Jules Pierre Mao and Sadavir Errin Wright make way for a sadistic claims jumper. Worst of all, they turn the best character, Crisjen Avasarala, into a parody of herself as an Andrew Dice Clay knockoff. I used to relish her scenes, the occasional well-timed emphatic curse word sending shivers down my spine. Now, I get shudders as she drops F-bombs in every sentence in a manner that would make a sailor blush. Add in the smarmy, poor man's Dr. Phil as the replacement actor for her husband, and it's a difficult slog. Not sure if it's the same writers or they ran out of source material, but major disappointment.… Expand

First season, episode one, first scene, they decided to start the show with a sex scene but they've gone as far as to digitaly remove the nipples of the actress...

I'm not american enough to tolerate this kind of censorship in an ultra violent show. This is beyond ridiculous.
I'm not watching TV shows for some nudity, but if you have to censor nudity, you shouldn't have put it in the first place. I have no problems with shows, movies or video games with no nudity I watch lot of them, but censorship break my immersion by screaming "puritanism" right at my face.… Expand

Or that women are physically equal or superior to men; smarter too. There is a reality that 100% contradicts this mentally deranged agenda. I've had enough. Stopped watching midway through season 4. Go woke, go broke!… Expand

This is the most overrated TV show I have ever seen. If you're having a hard time to sleep and your sleeping pills don't work, you gotta try this TV show. It will work with 100%.

I was told that it's a great TV show, a bit slow, but would get better and to not give up… So I started watching it and episodes were very dull. I was dragging with it. So shallow, so dull, so boring... None of the characters seem to be interesting. Same can be said about plot. Episodes were so dull that I was almost falling asleep. They were so uninteresting that I didn't even remember them. Production seemed cheap too with the same locations… It felt like that whole show was shot in one room.

I tried to not give up, I tried it hard and made it to whole one season, but now I'm giving up to continue watching this crap show & I regret that I wasted my precious time on it. And I'm not one of those people who dislike SCI-FI. I liked Prometheus a lot, I liked Alien a lot and I like some good SCI-FI movies, but this TV show isn't definitely of them.… Expand

Chronic terrible pacing makes it hard to feel invested in the story or the characters. Dominique Tipper, Wes Chatham, and Cas Anvar deliver stand out performances in a series where the bad casting decisions spoil the good ones.
