    I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.

    The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.

    Maybe it’s just me though.

      I know it’s been said a thousand times, but the books really are immensely better than the show. And they have a proper ending! The last 3 unadapted books are arguably the best part of the series, and Alex is there since there was no dipshit actor to get himself fired.

        TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn…

        Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.

      the problem is there is supposed to be 3 more seasons/books to wrap up all the hanging thread, including what happened to the gate builders and the Martian rebels.
