ScalziWatched the first episode of a highly regarded television show that people I know and like thought was great and I was absolutely fucking bored with it, which goes to show that either individual tastes are ultimately idiosyncratic, or that all my friends and at least some television critic have shit taste in TV, honestly it's a coin flip which it is

@scalzi If it was The Expanse, the first four or so episodes must be gotten through.
Steffen Christensen@EvieAlways @scalzi Same thing for Game of Thrones, but you can just stop at Season 7.
There is no Season 8.
Vee@Wikisteff @EvieAlways @scalzi I stopped watching GoT at the end of Season 4, and have not once regretted that decision.
Brad Wilson@Wikisteff @EvieAlways @scalzi Man it's super unfortunate that Lost got cancelled after just 2 seasons. It had a lot of potential. š
Clem H. Fandango@EvieAlways @scalzi really? I was engaged from the first episode...
Mike Jš¹š š¤š»@EvieAlways @scalzi I've think I've watched the first episode four times, but none of the rest of it.
I read the first two books and enjoyed them, but at that point I didn't feel a huge need to continue.

> The Expanse is one of my all time favorites
Best space opera since Serenity, character-wise, and head and shoulders above all the Star Wars TV shows (except Andor).
With an uncommon attempt to tell the human part of the story with roughly realistic tech. Which makes the future space magic the alien tech does all the more otherworldly and creepy.
Ohh, the parallels between the treatment of Belters and the tragic events unfolding in a certain part of the world...
