Is The Expanse underrated?

Is The Expanse underrated?

There's a reason why SyFy keeps the show on. Expanse is more than good, and it's probably the most underrated sci-fi show on TV. It goes without saying that there aren't a lot of worthy sci-fi shows currently anyway. Besides Westworld and Stranger Things, the list is quite short.

Does The Expanse have good ratings?

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a score of 78% with an average rating of 7.10 out of 10 based on 45 reviews. The site's consensus states: "The Expanse blends sci-fi elements and detective noir into a visually compelling whole, though it takes a few episodes for the story to capture viewers' intrigue."

Is The Expanse Season 1 GOOD?

Their adventures are action-packed but their relationships with one another make every episode compelling. The Expanse is such a wonderfully realised, affectingly believable, deceptively smart, and really damn engrossing show that it's far too easy to forget that you're watching a piece of speculative fiction.

Why is The Expanse rated 16+?

The rating mostly comes from the topics and the language. After all, Avasarala is known for her potty mouth. She doesn't swear that much in the first season, but it ramps up after that. Some of this comes from the change of network and the rules changing within SYFY over recent years.

Is The Expanse scary?

Parents need to know that The Expanse is a dark sci-fi thriller about a future society with warring factions on other planets and in space. Characters are killed suddenly on-screen; the camera lingers on severed body parts, blood, and gore.

Is The Expanse slow?

Ever since the early years on cable TV, The Expanse has been a slow-burn sci-fi experience, gradually building mysteries over the course of a season before erupting into a big pay off, whether it be the hotel scene of season 1, or the Rocinante crew raiding Jules-Pierre Mao's Protomolecule lab.

Why is The Expanse so slow?

The main reason The Expanse season 5 felt slower than usual was the Rocinante crew split. ... While this wasn't entirely unexpected (the book follows the same format), separating the crew for the entire season is a bold move that stretches relatively short stories over ten episodes.

Is The Expanse well written?

Well written and action packed.... I'd say they feel more like focussed adventures (not necessarily "the crew" as viewpoint characters change) and, although the story and plot is "epic" I doesn't feel like an epic series when you're reading them.
