"Two hundred years in the future, in a fully colonized Solar System, police detective Josephus Miller (Thomas Jane), born in the asteroid belt, is given the assignment to find a missing young woman, Julie Andromeda Mao (Florence Faivre). Meanwhile, James Holden (Steven Strait), the Executive Officer of the ice trawler Canterbury, is involved in a tragic incident that threatens to destabilize Earth, Mars and the Belt. Far away from their struggles in space, Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo), a United Nations executive, works to prevent war between Earth and Mars by any means necessary. Soon, the three find out that the missing woman and the ice trawler's fate are part of a vast conspiracy that threatens all humanity." (Wikipedia)

Luckily it's streaming on the SyFy channel website so I can catch up.

Ep 6 on season 3 brought some real life to the show. Hoping amazon can give them a bigger budget too.

I saw a clip of the 4 crew members landing on Ilus, and it sort of made me want to watch.

I'm into season 2 now, and the show has certainly picked up. The first few eps are rough, but it does eventually create its own identity.

I think the guy who plays Holden is really good. Holden is a very specific character which would be tough to bring to life, but he does a great job.

I am very disappointed with Avasarela in the show though. She's my favourite character in the books; in the show she is very bland.

I just binged every episode in two weeks; such a great series. If it maintains its quality over the next two seasons, or for however long it continues, it's gonna be right up there with my favourite shows of all time. Special props to Thomas Jane, who kills it every second he's on screen.

Bring on Dec 13th!
