The Expanse season 1
May. 14th, 2019 04:03 amI have finished watching the first season and
wow
that is doing a lot.
Plot plot plot, and there's character stuff going on, but it's maybe more subtle than I'm used to. Like people seldom sit and talk about their feelings, they just around trying not to get dead. Things don't get solved very often, except for the very pressing problem of how not to get dead this episode. And that is frequently solved by people they've only just met. Who then get dead.
There is a lot of dead going around, is what I'm saying.
There are some excellent female characters, but it does that frustrating thing where they're isolated in a sea of men. Like there's one woman per context somehow. ( Read more... )
I like the diversity we get, I'm frustrated with some of the maths.
I like the characters we get, everyone is doing things for clearly demonstrated reasons.
I like the politics and twists and turns.
I am going to watch season two in the very near future.
And also schedule a second slower rewatch if it doesn't disappoint. Because they're telling a lot all the time and I think going slower I'd get more out. I just also want to see what happens next.
Which is fun.
