+1000Some things can be safely labelled instant classics, and the Expanse series IMHO is one of them.

Yes, best review of the problems of the show I've seen.An interesting critique of "Foundation". I think the reviewer hit the mark on this.
When “Foundation” Gets the Blockbuster Treatment, Isaac Asimov’s Vision Gets Lost
The TV version of the classic sci-fi saga sidelines its source’s most pressing questions about power and precarity.www.newyorker.com
I'm fragile when I leave my bunker. I'm always relieved when I manage to slink back to it.Yet human life is so fragile in so many ways once it leaves its nurturing homeworld.
Not right away, but it will be revived after a while. The portal provides for unlimited stories.The Expanse is coming to an end this coming season. They say they are taking a break but I doubt it'll be back.
And thus unlimited possibilities for crappy spinoff series wanting to monetize on the original. It’s just a matter of time.The portal provides for unlimited stories.
Did your breakfast get burnt this morning? How do you know it will be a spin off, or if it will be crappy?And thus unlimited possibilities for crappy spinoff series wanting to monetize on the original. It’s just a matter of time.
I don’t, nor did I say I did. I said there are possibilities. Also, History is on my side. Sequels are rarely as good as the original, spin-offs even less so. Just watch the upcoming LOTR and GOT spin-offs crash and burn (mark my words: they will burn), or the last Star Trek series.. Dr Who didn’t even need a spin-off…Did your breakfast get burnt this morning? How do you know it will be a spin off, or if it will be crappy?

I don't make a habit of remembering the details. Besides, I need to let the dragon out to find dinner.No, GOT crashed on at least the last 3 season! Why? Because it became a spin-off parody off itself as soon as the source material dried up. Damn George RR, finish the book already
Here's a list of classic scifi that was not screwed up in transition from book to movies and TV:

I only ask since you seem to be strict enough, what did you think about this:Now we can argue over what is "classic" scifi. For me, it needs to transcend eras, and that series isn't yet old enough to do so.
Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, van Vogt, Brown, Pohl, Kornbluth... that's more of my idea.
Funny how we differ. I couldn't get through the first two episodes from how much my gut wrenched. I had to stop and I never looked back.Although The expanse did a pretty good job.
Never saw it. Is it a book adaptation?I only ask since you seem to be strict enough, what did you think about this:
