The Expanse is set in a future where humans live across the solar system. It follows the crew of the Rocinante as they uncover a conspiracy involving an alien substance that threatens humanity. Earth, Mars, and the Belt are on the edge of war, and the show mixes politics with space battles. Its best part is how realistic it feels, from zero gravity to how space travel actually works. It didn’t get huge ratings at first, probably because sci-fi often struggles on TV, but it built a loyal fanbase after Amazon picked it up. Many fans call it one of the best modern sci-fi series.
