Just started watching the new SciFy channel series "The Expanse". I usually stay away from original SciFy channel stuff as they are usually cheesy with bad acting and special effects but I really liked the first two episodes. The series is based on the James S.A. Corey novels and there is a real story line and character development.

There are 5 novels and 3 novellas so far in the book series and I have read this being compared to "Game of Thrones", except in future and based in space, as far as story complexity. I ordered the first novel which is the basis of the first season of 10 episodes.

You can read a short summary here

If you are into SciFi that is not all special effects you might like this series............

This show needs more love. It is wonderfully written and has a great, diverse cast of characters.

You can watch the first four episodes online at both SyFy and Space Channel websites:

http://www.space.ca/featuredshow/the-expanse/(This is for Canadian viewers like myself)

Only the first three episodes have aired so far, but the fourth was put up online before debuting next week. Great show.

Could not agree more!.....I really hope this series lasts as there are plenty of books in the authors, James S.A Corey, series that this could go on for a long time like Game of Thrones.

Just started reading his first novel, Leviathan Wakes which is what the first season is based on, and the TV show seems to follow the book pretty faithfully at least so far. I am enjoying reading the extra detail the book gives as it helps flesh out character development and additional backstory details...

I am only up to the part where they answer the distress call and are just boarding the dead ship but it is a good read so far........

After producing so much garbage in the past I never thought the SciFy channel could produce such a good show.......

Think I'm going watch Banshee season 3.

Not sure if that was the last ep of The Affair or s nuclear cliffhanger.

Yep, it was the season finale

Eliza Dushku is in the next/final season of Banshee. Yummy.

That could be the end. Or it could just be the beginning.

There's another one in Banshee that is perfection. Works in the strip club. Lili Simmons.

I like Banshee. I watched like 2 seasons I think, and there were must watch shows that got in the way. It's not actually that good, but it's fun.

It's not that staggering but it's cool, violent and hot vixens get nejkid. It's pretty brutal violence wise. I want to drink like them. Just bourbon in a glass, then go for a run. I cant see the running ever ever happening but grey sweats, bourbon, then a pump action shotgun to blow some injuns away.
