I really want this show to be good, but each week it seems like it does *just* enough to keep me from giving up entirely, just barely.

There's some decent acting, and some not-so-good acting, and the fight choreography is mostly good, but I wonder if they're drawing out the story more than they should. It seems strange, given how much has happened so far, but I almost feel as if they're slowing things down to draw more episodes out.

It had been a while since I'd read any of the Expanse books, so I started re-reading just to check. The first ep of the show covers just the first five chapters of the first book in the Expanse series, and pretty faithfully. There are five more books after the first one, plus a few novellas, and some short stories, so there's plenty more source material to draw from before they might need to go off on their own.

The show could have done a better job making the locations clear and distinct from each other, I think, but overall I was really impressed.

I couldn't disagree more. It didn't feel long, Ritter killed it, and the narration worked really well to build the noir vibe.

I think I'm just not in the target cohort for this show. I love comedy. I love zombie shows. I love funny zombie shows. But this just seemed terrible. I made it as far as zombie baby and gave up. So bad!
