This can be the problem with adaptations. If you've read and enjoyed the books, you not only possibly know whats going to happen but you have specific expectations. Personally, I haven't read The Expanse and have enjoyed the series.
Yeah, I was drawn in pretty much immediately. I was only able to catch the first 3 episodes while waiting for a flight in Taiwan (they seem to have the same Netflix library as the States, whereas here in Canada, the Expanse is unavailable), but I found it mesmerising.
It's available on CraveTV in Canada. Only $9 a month, can cancel your subscription any time, first month is free. Tech sucks, content is pretty good.
Oh wow, I was under the impression it was much more expensive. I have a smart TV that has a Crave app, I guess I'll give it a shot.
