Dan GillmorCan anyone point me to a detailed (but understandable) plot synopsis of the first season of "The Expanse"?
Caryl Shaw@dangillmor Wikipedia does a decent job: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expanse_(TV_series):
stephen m 🍞🌹🇵🇸@dangillmor The books are sooo good!
Flaming Cheeto@marxistvegan @dangillmor but be aware as they go on, TV and books significantly diverge making motivations a bit different and hard to understand.
@PizzaDemon @dangillmor actually episode one of the series immediately got me to the read the books and then go and watch to see how they tried to pull it together
Dwight Silverman@dangillmor Wikipedia has a series of 1-paragraph synopses of all the seasons:

Syfy has an illustrated slideshow synopsis that’s pretty good.

tops@dangillmor Wikipedia is usually good for this. Great for finishing a series you don't want to watch any more as well.
Shoq 🌿@dangillmor I would, but having tried 3 times to get past season 2, I just can’t recommend it. Some good ideas, but they’re buried in the rubble of glacially paced story arcs, imo.
maegul@shoq @dangillmor Interesting. For me I remember a point where I liked the world enough that I was very happy with the pace.
My general feeling with a lot of things is that they rush them too much, so your take here piques my curiosity. Wondering if I just like things too slow for others.

@shoq @dangillmor I thought it was unwatchable.
Well, I was being polite.
I just might be a nicer person than you are when it comes to unwatchable things :) @Karoli @dangillmor

Pusher Of Pixels (old account)@shoq @Karoli @dangillmor I chuckled at the sheer amount of debris they were putting into the solar system; bodies, derelict ships, almost everything
Kessler Syndrome scaled up
Tor Kingdon@dangillmor the first book in the series
Garrry@dangillmor " supporting cast outshines main cast in space show by an embarassing amount " and "not all of these plot threads get maintained in a satisfactory way"
Franklin_SIs this too much detail for what you're looking for?

rholland_again-again@dangillmor Maybe just watch the show? If you like what you see, keep tuning in.
