If You Like SciFi -- Watch "The Expanse"
It starts out kind of slow for the first 5 episodes - world building and all that. But towards the end of the 1st season, the story really kicks in and doesn't let up. Season 3 has just begun and it seems to be continuing along an excellent path. Definitely check this series out if you like science fiction.

Ok I did give it like 3 episodes and it was way too slow for me. I gotta start over again since that was quite some time ago.

I almost gave up as well. About midway through the 1st season things start coming together a little bit. Season 2 was absolutely incredible and the pacing is great. My brother gave up on the series as well after the first few episodes. I held on just because the reviews were very positive - I'm glad I did. This is probably one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Right up there with Breaking Bad and Justified, IMO.

I watched the first few episodes and then picked up the first book. Then I kept reading the books and found I preferred them to the show. YMMV

I almost hate starting to watch new science fiction shows on tv - just when they get good, the ratings tank and they cancel the show!
Watching 'The Crossing' right now, bet it doesn't last through season 2, unless they start getting better/more action.

I really tried to like this show—heck, I'll watch pretty much anything with Shohreh Aghdashloo—but after five episodes, I just couldn't keep my eyes open.
Now you tell me that it finally got good after that! Rats! I just finished my second watching of Rectify (quite possibly the most sublime American TV show ever), and season 4 of Bosch (my favorite show still airing), and I've been looking for something new. Looks like The Expanse is back on the menu, boys.

Somebody wake me up when the entire series comes to a halt, and tell me then whether it was a great one to watch.
My wife and I have been through so many frustrating ongoing series that she instituted a hard-and-fast rule for our house: NO starting any new series unless it has a defined starting AND stopping point. Think I'm kidding? I'm STILL waiting for Game of Thrones to officially end so I can start watching it. Dirk

Yep, Bosch is another one of my favorites. I just binge watched Season 4 last weekend - no regrets I haven't heard of Rectify, I'll have to check it out.
For those of you on the fence, please give it a chance. If you don't get hooked by the end of Season 1, then I'll build you a guitar for free. |

Awesome. Thanks! Just finished season one of Lost In Space and was looking for a mother quality sci-fi series. If it’s anywhere as good as BB or Justified I’m all in. Thanks!

I just finished season 2 and now have to wait for season three. I agree that it took awhile for me to understand everything but I eventually enjoyed it enough to keep going.
I hear such good things about Game of Thrones but that's one I couldn't get through the first episode or two. On the other hand, that's probably OK because I don't actually have access to it. Without cable or the HBO add-on, it's just not available to me. (I borrowed the first DVD of season one to try it out.)

Breaking Bad was actually one of the series that caused annoyance to my wife and me: we watched the very first short "season" (just a few episodes...the primary character hadn't gone through treatment, so still had hair). We didn't see the appeal. Then season two hit, got rave reviews, and for several years we get comments from friends who think it's the best ongoing series EVER. Go figure. Dirk

I enjoyed both seasons quite a bit, but I'll wait until I can stream it free before I watch season 3
