    Love The Expanse. I don't know why people aren't more excited about it around here.

    I watched the first season but gradually lost interest and finally gave up. Same with Killjoys, so no Syfy shows for me.

    Huge fan of the show (as I started reading the novels before the show started to air). Anyways heard from Cas Anvar on twitter that the 3rd season will start in February, and there might be a teaser soon, as they have finished filming on season 3 already.

    I'm watching this on Netflix, about 6 episodes in. Don't love it, but it's had a good moment or two.

    The Martian accents are weird, and Tomas Jane's hair is a much worse version of a teenage girl I know.

    Also, this show fears colour saturation far more than Discovery fears colours other than blue.

    Ah yes, the "grow your hair on one side and shave it on the other" look. I've never cared for it on girls, and Thomas Jane proves it looks even worse on a guy.

    A lot of people around here have horrible taste in shows.

    I spent so long hoping he'd get his hat back.

    Same planet as yours.
    I loved Thomas Jane's hair, he's one of the few people who can rock that style.

    I love this show! Watched it many times through already and own both seasons on blu-ray. Oh yeah and Thomas Jane is the greatest. I wonder if his hair is a riff on the ‘Belter Crest’ hair style in Larry Niven books? Either way he pulls it off.

    I really enjoy it, although I did fall behind and never finished Season 2. I'm definitely planning on starting the season over and going all the way through as soon as it's up on Amazon Prime.

    I bought the first series on blu-ray without having seen or read any of it. Pretty good call, as it turned out.

    While I enjoyed the first season, I didn't feel that it lived up to the first two-thirds of Leviathan Wakes. However, season 2 actually seemed to improve on both LW's final third and the start of Caliban's War. Looking forward to season 3.

    And others seem to think they are superior enough to tell them so without offering justification. :p
