The Expanse is very good, IMO.

Agreed—”The Expanse” series were excellent books (James Corey was the author) and key plot elements and characters of the books have been respected in the show.

Some folks here got a little bent out of shape that The Belters were code for “minorities” of our day, but I do not share that view at all.

Their situation is a reasonable extrapolation of how life in the Belts might be and what it would mean long term—and I think that was Corey’s intent.

The “experts” never seem to get it right—and the higher the stakes the greater the danger of their ignorance.
