I had a pretty mad festive period.
Building had a full fire alert at 11.30am on xmas day, ran for an hour and a half. There was a bit of a barney i heard but did not see, then alarm.
There was no fire but firemen came and left.
Drunk ppl suspected...
Then, there was a scrap metal fire at a recycling plant at the docks for 3 days so not wise to go out.
Fun times.
At least there wasn't a beer shortage.

And, while he's entitled to his opinion, so our other people entitled to critique his work because (S5 especially) was poorly written in parts. Hell, if memory serves even the book did not waste chunks of time stretching out the situation. That time could have been used elsewhere, but instead we had great EP 1 and 2, then a giant sag before EP 10 crushes all the good stuff into the end.

Plus, its a bit rich considering his writers on the show made scenes rely on obscure details, so he had to explain them later on.

I'd go as far to say The Expanse series of books and TV were perfect to begin with, and went downhill to the point at the end where its strictly average.

We've heard it a few times :) Having re-watched all the Expanse recently I'd have to say you're ... not right. Even the episode that I had remembered as all Naomi crying wasn't. And earlier series were no better than the later ones. But you do you. 7 years of PP have given you that at least ...

Your meme is right- its opinions. Even your sarcasm whataboutery.

S1 was perfect- unpretentious, direct and economical. S2 with the Navoo arc was fantastic, Calibans war arc was great and pacy.

S3 was uneven, but was entertaining enough since it deepened the mysteries of the ring gate.

S4 with Ilus is where the problems start, since Ilus itself wasted a large amount of time because of 'look at us on Amazon' and compressed other aspects to the point they became background newscasts. Just as what happened in S5, S4 ended on a strong note after going nowhere for a few episodes.

S5 started out strongly with fantastic drama building to the attack. Then.......it goes nowhere until the end where all the major plot points wake up.

And S6? Well you know that.
