The State of Space Sci-Fi

[Mattias Westlund]

Watching season 5 of The Expanse, I have to say I like it so far. S04 was a little too all over the place and S05 is a return to form, even though I can't help but feel that it sort of drags a bit here and there. Sure, it's not an action show, but there's a whole lot of very drawn-out dialogue/emotional scenes, especially involving characters the show insists I should feel something for, but I'm not sure why exactly (like Drummer). The script could have used some tightening up, but generally speaking, I'm happy.

Again, I must say that Amos is a fantastic character and Wes Chatham displays some fine acting chops in this. The subtlety of his performance is amazing and I love the guy.
