dcslashNewish/Current Fandom #2: The Expanse
How to boil this down... Set in the future (I'm not sure how far, but Earth has colonized Mars and it has already become independent, and the two planets are basically in a cold war. Caught between these two are the people of the asteroid belt and outer planets - the Belters. Belters have worked and lived in space for so long that they have physically adapted to it.), this is a giant space opera. First season, we start with a mystery of what happened to this girl, Julie, who went missing and throughout we find out about a proto-molecule which is some form of alien life-form which is secretly being experimented with. Second season continues the first season plot line through the political intrigue of Mars govt, Earth govt, and the OPA (Belter version of the IRA). Third Season, we find out that we didn't manage to get rid of the proto-molecule and the struggle continues. It's really hard to describe... If you like dark, space opera, you'll like this one. It has a fourth season coming out in December on Amazon Prime. I saw a bunch of the cast at Dragon Con and knew I wanted to check it out. The seasons aren't huge so it is an easy one to catch up on.
