The Expanse - Episode 4

I have to tell you that Episode 4 of The Expanse is some of the best space based drama I have seen in a long time. While the conspiracy is going to be exposed (truth be told I knew it was gonna be ALIENS all along) the three sides with the most to lose, Earth, Mars and The Belters still can't hide their ingrained prejudice for each other to join against an enemy that could destroy them all. However, I see them learning that they have more in common than they ever thought when faced with a common enemy - one they might not be able to defeat.

As usual the space stuff is top notch with everything operating as I expect they would in the REAL 24th Century where space travel is a dangerous thing. This one is only ten episodes so I am sticking with it.

Missed the first episodes due to holiday season insanity and
I forgot to record it. I hope it gets to Netflix, looks good, as you say.

Each group has it's own agendas, prejudices ect... I listened to the Martian first officer talk to the Earther about living under a dome and never seeing a sky or an ocean and Earth had those things and just pissed them away. I see why he would hate a guy from Earth and have such a militaristic culture.
