“Eliot Didn’t Say Anything. For All The Years Of His Life He’d Spent With Janet, He’d Never Really

“Eliot didn’t say anything. For all the years of his life he’d spent with Janet, he’d never really known her, not deep down. Sometimes he looked at her and thought, Gosh, I wonder what’s underneath all that anger, all that hard glossy armor? Maybe there’s just an innocent, wounded little girl in there who wants to come out and play and be loved and get happy. But now he wondered if maybe that little girl was long gone, or if she’d ever been there at all. What was under all that armor, all that anger? More anger, and more armor. Anger and armor, all the way down…”

–The Magician’s Land by Lev Grossman, chapter 12

If you like science fiction

Please consider watching The Expanse. Just… trust me on this.

complex and relatable characters

A+ worldbuilding

no cliché good vs. evil setup, just humans with different agendas and varying shades of morality

VERY diverse cast

relevant commentary to many social/environmental/etc. issues of our time (but not in a preachy way)

scientifically accurate as fuck (mostly)

no silly looking aliens (of course this is a drawback if you like those)

visually gorgeous

awesomest spaceships ever (I may be a little biased tho)

based on a book series so the show writers know where the fuck they’re going with the plot (and believe me there’s some mindblowing stuff coming up)

Shohreh Aghdashloo as the Deputy Undersecretary of the United Nations Chrisjen Avasarala is a fucking delight

You can watch the first two seasons on Amazon Prime (US), CraveTV (Canada), and Netflix (rest of the world).

Season 3 is currently airing on Syfy (US) and Space (Canada).

I know some of you may have second thoughts because Syfy has a reputation of making garbage but honestly this is a really fucking excellent show and 100% worth your time.
