Binge thru both seasons on Netflix within a few days...

boy, haven't had a great space sci-fi series like this since the days of BSG

Too bad Netflix only have 2 seasons so far, gonna get the S3 from other sources

And if Amazon is getting the S4, so there's zero chance it will appears on Netflix then, I hope it's one of the Amazon Original that's available on our local Prime Videos.

In the US, definitely. Don't know about MY since I don't keep track of all the different series distribution exclusivity rights (some series are available from Netflix MY despite being exclusive to other providers in the US), was just hoping that perhaps they'll be different here.

Unfortunately it's Amazon Prime exclusive, worldwide

as it's fully funded by Amazon, after Syfy abandoned it, so there's no way you gonna see it on on other media

It was on Netflix MY briefly before Amazon picked up the rights to it, then it disappeared from Netflix MY after Amazon got the exclusive rights.

anyway, you can easily get free 1 month trial of Amazon Prime anyway, and Prime Video is available locally, so I don't see any issue of watching it locally tongue.gif

Yeah, I managed to catch it on Netflix MY before it disappeared. Too bad about the new season though. I'm not sure I like the 'free trial' thing, cancelling is usually a hassle.

canceling the trial is easy, just a few clicks and that's it, no jump through hoops required wink.gif

Its been political since the start. First its Earth VS Mars. Now, it finally escalated to Inners VS Belters
After the down-to-earth last season, this season gonna explode! Marco Inaros says so tongue.gif

yeah, Ep04 is so unexpected & mind blowing

guess this whole season we will see the crews of the Rocicante scattered all around the solar system to prevent this Inners/Belters war

Finally finish all season.

So sad Alex has been technically "forced" to leave the expanse cast due to misconduct issue
*
yeah, he got fired from the series, what to do?
I actually like his character very much, hope the new crew can fill his shoes

nowadays image is everything, any celebrities that caught in any sexual/racism controversies, their career is as good as finished, the recent Mandalorian's Gina case is another example

I thought he will come back after season 7 or so (IF theres a s7 tongue.gif).  Its been a fun journey, cowboy  bye.gif

Next season S6 will the the final season, no more S7 sad.gif
I think they have ran out of source material as well, didn't read the original book tho...

anyway... I'm now reading another great sci-fi novel that's being adapted in the series by Benioff & Weiss for Netflix: The Three Body Problem
it's another "hard science" sci-fi similar to The Expanse, hopefully we get to see it on screen soon...

Damn it, why they wanna end the final season with a cliff hanger

they didn't tie off a few loose ends as well... sad.gif

Let's hope someone else will pick it up again, as there are 2 more books to go, it's basically one of the best space sci-fi of recent time!

3 more seasons to go actually.

I think it will be picked up much later, waiting for word of mouth and ratings to pick up.

Yeah, 3 more, forgot the final book that was released not long ago

Rewatch back S1, finding it a bit draggy compared to the recent seasons which has faster pacing and more compact, but I guess that's also due to recent seasons has limited budgets compared to their first few seasons on syfy, which we can see obviously has more budget allocation for bigger scenes, more casts and flashier effects.

When it was picked up by Amazon, it was toned down a lot, especially on the sex gore and violence part. Guess they also have some problem shooting the final season due to COVID as well as departure of Alex

I find Season 5 a bit soapy, too focused on Naomi's story arc, which was unnecessarily long. 

I would like to know more about the aliens behind the ring gates and their enemies, but the story dragged a bit too long and soapy to focus on Naomi family issue.

Maybe the viewership didn't pick up... and hence the decision to end it.
*
Amazon's deal is only picking it up for 3 seasons, so it's already decided S6 will be the final season with Amazon when they picked it up

S5 Naomi's arc is still not so bad la, IMO S4 is the worst one cos it's very minimal on space venturing and most of the scenes are stuck on the alien planet
