Also, subtitles are your friend, especially since many of the characters speak a patois. It’s a tribute to the show’s complexity that we pick up new things every time we watch it. Holden and Naomi think this show is TOTALLY about romance, specifically, theirs! The Expanse is not about romance, but it is about relationships, and watching those relationships develop over the course of four seasons is unbelievably rewarding. If “found family” is your thing then look no further. Newcomers will discover that the show has good science, interesting worldbuilding, great characters, a diverse cast (needs more queer characters though), and a mix of humor, action, space horror, hard sci-fi, and politics. While we both found Season 1 to be a weak beginning, it sets so much in motion that if you don’t start there you’ll spend all your time saying “What’s Eros?” and wondering who the guy in the hat is. If you are new to the Expanse, we suggest starting at the beginning. Over the last few seasons we’ve had many differences over how we interpret characters and plots and which are our favorites but we remain united in our love of Amos and of Chrisjen Avarasala’s fashion choices. HeatherT is the person who first got me hooked on the show. Welcome to a joint review of The Expanse Season Four.
