Basically theres Mars earth and the belters and they go war if you go on amazon then hit season 4 it gives you the run down from season 1 to 3 then you could watch season 4 or just watch it from beginning it's really good it's one of the shows that got cancelled then amazon saved like what happened to Lucifer with netflix

Watching Rod Stewart now. Not sure where they got all that old footage. Not of him singing, but him

doing everyday stuff when he was a lad. (Going to the post office to put 25 shillings in)

I've stuck with it because he really did come up from nothing. I love some of his music but some I hate. Fascinating rags to riches story though

Back on-topic...The Expanse - the first few episodes are unbelievably good and it doesn't stop there! You may not think its going anywhere but trust me, it all links together before it all changes again. The way they take you along with characters then throw in new one and by the end of the episode, its like they've been there all along. I rate it as THE best sci-fi shows ever and you'll discover why as you progress. So much about it that keeps you watching - a blend of political intrigue, proper spaceship fighting and the storyline that links it all

Its not in the same family time viewing category like Star Trek is so expect a few more adult orientated scenes (which aren't necessary but producers put them in every show these days) so be warned. Thankfully its at a minimum.

Series 4 has just been released so I'm hoping to see that over the next couple of weeks which looks like another major pivot which is the only bit I'm going to say and it links back to the beginning. Already seen S1 - 3 so I'm at pains to not reveal anything If you've been conned into Amazon Prime recently or need to get something from there, you should take advantage of the 30 days and binge watch it before cancelling

mm so that's a couple of weeks with 3 seasons to catch up...

Re: Amazon prime

sheepdog — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 16:55:13 GMT

1st season is 10 episodes, s2 &3 are 13 each. They may seem short and run time is about 45-50 mins each but there are very few wasted minutes.

liggerz87 — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 19:44:44 GMT

Enjoy you have a lot of catching up to do also if you want a run down tou could go season 4 and watch episode 0 gives you the highlight of one to 3

I agree @liggerz87, @sheepdog The Expanse is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I'm currently about half way through the 4th season. It's a fantastic mix of sci fi, action and politics!

There's actually a really cool story about how it got picked up by Amazon after a fan campaign so check it out if that sort of thing interests you.

Re: Amazon prime

jonsie — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:51:19 GMT

I'm enjoying the first series
