Haven't watched this one. I'll have to check it out.

Is it appropriate for a 13 year old? We are kind of strict in what he watches.

There are a lot of F-bombs and intense violence at times.

Probably not, give it a few years.
Its got a fairly complex plot-line, you'll end up explaining a lot of space science, political science and engineering science and then there's the swearing and violence, along with suggested nudity. No doubt there's kids that are able to keep up but, everyone develops differently.

To this day I have not heard swearing that would have surprised 13 year old me.

That's because the first few seasons were on SyFy before Amazon got it. Since Amazon isn't being held hostage by Clorox and Mazda, they ramped up the naughty swears and a bit of boobies some. It's not raunchy or explicit really, it all works in the context.

NO! There is Violence, Strong language, Scary images and Nudity. If you are Strict at all this is not what you would want your 13yr old to watch.

It is a superb series that does a good job of following the excellent book series. Best Sci-Fi show out there IMHO.


Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun...................

This season, to date up to episode 5 at least, has been the best so far. It's not 100% faithful to the books, but IMO has done a fantastic job keeping to the spirit, especially now that Amazon has taken over.

Yup. And when ASG says "a bit of boobies," it's a very little bit. At least as far as we've gotten, which I think is season 5, episode 3?

If you're very strict, then perhaps the last two seasons would be over the line for you.

I've tried two episodes of this show. Its a bit dark and being on the brink of disaster all the time is not appealing to me at this time.

Like, I think it's been some buttcheeks and some sideboob. Has there been ladynipple?

Nope. Further: The buttcheeks and sideboob I think have all been from a distance and/or in very dark settings, so not really "in your face" kind of a things.

I am wondering this, though: What's up with the once-a-week episode drops? We're thinking of stopping watching until they've dropped them all, so we can watch at our pace.

Really liking s5 so far, warming up to something like a big shoot-out. I've not read the books so, don't spoil it.

I stopped reading the books once I caught up to season 4. I'm going to finish it now that season 5 is here.

probably stop the folks that sign up for a month, binge watch it, then drop the free trial or cancel after they are done,


I'm a subscriber, but currently watching another series that I'll be done with in a few days, ,
I'll start the new season of Expanse after that

Can I watch the entire series on Amazon? I've recently become interested in it, but want to be able to see the whole thing from the beginning and I don't currently have Amazon.
