Really good but really rushed. I will never understand why no network or streamer has fully committed to this series when it comes to budget (production, marketing, etc.) and completing the narrative.
I fully expect to get at least one movie to wrap up the story but The Expanse deserves so much more.

Does anyone watch this show without having read the books?
I was watching the battle between the Roci and the Pella, and my family was in the room. They didn't say anything, but I was wondering if they understood at all what was happening.
Torpedos fire. PDCs shoot them down. Ship spins and takes a shot with the rail gun. More torpedos. More PDCs.
Does any of this make sense to someone who hasn't read through a battle scene in the book?

I haven’t read the books. For me, it’s the visual aspect. All the ships look too samey, like Transformers do in the live action movies. I wouldn’t be able to pick the Roci out of a lineup.
