The Expanse, although slightly different from the books, is fan-freaking-tastic. Free on Amazon Prime, not sure of anything else. I'm not at all an anime fan so I sat this one out, but would love to have a sci-fi club on The Expanse.

I'm not at all familiar with it. I'll add it to the list and we'll have people decide what to do next.

I really wanted to like the expanse. It started coming apart at the seams about three episodes in.

It's a continuing problem with sci fi - producers tend to hire consultants who know their shit for the pilot, and then run out of money to keep them on staff and it all becomes mystic airduct bullshit by episode 6.

At the end of the book, the characters all devolved into tropes, yes. And I was scared the series was going to do the same. The world that has been built makes me want to stick around.
