The first time I watched The Expanse, I thought it was very good. I had to watch it a second time to appreciate just how god it is. The acting and writing is top notch, and the effects are really good. I don't know what the show's budget is, but they make the most of it. And the theme song is hauntingly excellent. If you like sci-fi shows with good story lines and some really good acting, try this. Seriously, try this.
