The Expanse

After recently finishing all of the available episodes of Black Mirror (more needed please!!!), I needed a new TV series to start watching. I stumbled across The Expanse and have fallen in love with it! There are currently four seasons of the show available to watch on Amazon Prime and I am nearly finished with the second season.

The show takes place in the future. Mars is colonized but not on good terms with Earth. There's the constant threat of a war between Earth and Mars for control of the Solar System. On top of that there are the "belters" the people born and raised on asteroids or moons who are dealt the consequences of the Earth vs. Mars battle. These people want their freedom from the oppression of the two planets.

So yeah, space battles! The science isn't perfect, but is pretty good. Many scenes show a great look at gravity, or lack thereof, in space.

Thus far the series takes a good look at the lack of resources available and the actions peoples and governments take against others to gain access to the limited resources still available, whether they be on Earth, Mars, or elsewhere in the Solar System. A great TV series for anyone who is a fan of science fiction.
