    The Expanse, people keeps recommending it and I kept ignoring it thinking it was the Extant. I hope it gets picked up again.

      Just finished the last season of For All Mankind yesterday and it can be seen as a sort of prequel to The Expanse.

        Yeah, by Season 4 of FAM I was definitely thinking the same thing.

        But also, very, very good show in its own right.

      The actor who played Alex Kamal was fired for being a creep I think, so I doubt it’ll come back. But there are more books to enjoy on wich the series ist bases.

        They made a season without him. For the last three books they could just recast everyone, they’re set 30 years after what was covered by the show.

          Well they killed off Alex in the TV version. And he honestly doesn’t have a particular big role in the final arc. So they could just give his little arc with his family to someone else.

      This for sure.

      I kept putting it off, then watched it all in one go when I finally managed to get through the 1 and 2nd episodes i think.
