    Ridley Scott directing. Early buzz from critics is very good.

      The ending of the third episode (broadcast during the second week of the show, they showed two episodes the first week) -- holy cow.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            Terrific in the first 2 episodes, especially the detail of life aboard ship and the political realities of a naval officer appointment. So I looked it up on wikipedia, found out what happened IRL, and am not so enthused any more.
            Best thing is this actor, who plays the Leader of the Belters in The Expanse. Because he spoke with a Belter patois, I never knew he was a Brit and spoke with a brit accent.

              Is this going to be like the time you started watching the Walking Dead, liked it for a while, and then didn't?

                I doubt it. Entirely different kinds of shows. The subject matter really intrigues me. I have read lots of books about voyages of discovery, including the shackleford expedition. Production values seem good. But the supernatural elements are kind of ruining it for me. I want to like it! I will hang in a few more episodes. I see it is getting good reviews, so I am hopeful.

                I lasted a long time with TWD. 7.5 seasons! It finally wore me out.

                    Have you read The North Water, by Ian McGuire. Fiction but interesting. I really liked it.

                        Great book. Would make a great movie. Maybe directed by the dude that did "Hell or High Water". Use Pine again as the surgeon McGuire and cast someone like Michael Shannon as Drax.
