Just finished the Expanse, it was pretty okay, idk some of it was too predictable but it was still entertaining enough to just watch it while shit posting.

Really my only preference is that it isn't just some AI written show with every predictable and unoriginal trope imaginable.

I don't watch much TV stuff at all, but due to a house fire we just had last week (everyone is okay) I no longer got my gaming rig so I got more free time to watch something in between work and my normal reading sessions.

Cheers, chapos ♥️

Edit: damn you all rule, thanks for all this, way more than I imagined

    I loved The Expanse precisely because its central themes were a return to old-school idealism. With so many shows these days trying to one-up each other in cynicism as to how shitty human beings are, a show thats all about how well-intentioned people can come together, do the right thing, and have their faith in their fellow man rewarded is a breath of fresh air.

      That's a great way to put it. I liked it for that reason as well and some of the supporting cast were really well acted too. I wish Holden didn't over do that scrunchie mad face he does so often,it's a small, inconsequential gripe but I laugh every time he does it, which is often lol

        I would recommend the books if you have the time/means! They're way better i feel and go beyond the show quite a bit at this point

          Dope, that is a good idea for a birthday I got coming up, I usually ask for books for it.
