description
Two hundred years in the future, humanity has colonized the Solar System and is politically divided into three factions: Earth, Mars and the Outer Planets Alliance, that coexist in a fragile alignment. When a U.N. Deputy Undersecretary, a police detective (the great Thomas Jane sporting a K-pop haircut) and an ice freighter crew begin to uncover a vast conspiracy, the equilibrium between the three entities looks to fall apart and ultimately to threaten all of humanity.
Episode one of this new sci-fi series looks an awfully lot like it wants to be Game of Thrones in space. Even the opening credits are a space-copy of its medieval counterpart. But that opening disappears in the following episodes and with it the resemblance to the HBO show. Instead, we get a slow but steady moving sci-fi mixture of hardboiled detective story, space opera and conspiracy plot based on a series of novels by James S. A. Corey. The introduction of a vast, spacious universe in contrast to the use of a lot of claustrophobic, neon lit interior sets form an unusual atmosphere of gritty realism that few sci-fi shows manage to successfully capture. And that shows in its popularity with the audience, which guaranteed The Expanse a second season (airing in 2017).
