Ed001, have you watched The Expanse season 4 yet? I am just about to start watching the first episode!

{Ed001's Note - I had literally only just noticed there was a new series out now. Haven't had time to watch anything, my parents got here a couple of days ago.}

Really enjoyed Season 4. You can tell they had a bigger budget this season too, as there were more planet based locations than in the previous 3 seasons, and somehow they improved the already really impressive visuals.

I won't go into storyline details as I don't want to ruin it for anyone. The show basically follows the same concept as it has been for the last 3 seasons. It takes a handful of characters and creates multiple storylines that are all connected towards the end. I'm quite happy about that as it's worked for 3 seasons already.

The new characters that were added all fit well but they came at the expense of other characters. We didn't see any of Anderson Dawes(OPA leader), and we don't get to see Fred Johnson(Navu captain) until the last two episodes. However they are frequently mentioned, so I expect to see them in further seasons.

The thing that impresses me the most, is how consistently accurate the science is with everything except for the Protomolocule. It reminds me of what Neil deGrasse Tyson said when he was reviewing the movie Gravity. He said "First get the science right, then distort it at your leisure".
And that's exactly what The Expanse has done. Anything that we can definitively prove as a fact, they don't mess with it(such as the effects of Gravity). But when it comes to the promomolocule that's where they let their imagination go wild.

It's science fiction done correctly, in my opinion.

It's probably my favourite active TV show at the minunte, closely followed by Stranger Things(which might be returning this year instead of 2021 - HYPE!!).

{Ed001's Note - I quite enjoyed the first episode of The Witcher too. I love Stranger Things, the sooner that is back on screen the better.}
