The Expanse – So I watched this mini series and having read
the first book – Leviathan Awakes I was eager to see how much of the series
followed the novel. Unfortunately I
appear to have a memory block on that book and I do not remember much of
it. I felt that the series was a lot
slower than the novel. Still, I found
the series to be interesting enough to keep watching and look forward to the
second season which will begin in 2017.
I like the look and feel of the series but the characters were difficult
to enjoy.
