The Expanse (2015–2022)
5/10
Downhill after season 3
5 February 2021
What happened? Once the best scifi show I've ever seen but it's been steadily downhill starting with season 4. The first three seasons were outstanding, leaving the disappointment of the following three seasons all the more bitter. The current season (6) drags interminably and each of the too-numerous plot lines lack the dialogue or just plain "stuff" to save the actors from looking talentless. Some great special effects but oddly these are not capitalized on. There are some high points but these are drowned out by the endless long shots of space cruisers zipping left and right across the screen. I've actually fast forwarded through some of the dialogue scenes (Marco, I'm looking at you), something I would've considered inconceivable when this show was new. Where's the wonder? Mystery? Imagination? This show has sadly devolved into just another space opera.
