We usually get only two choices with movies and television shows set in space: Humans colonizing just the moon and Mars, or humans spanning the entire galaxy.
Well, The Expanse (based on a hit series of books) fulfills the middle gap, where we’ve moved out from the moon and colonized the entire solar system.
Sure, you get mostly-believable science fiction action (including a very cool alien presence), but the show’s political weasels are exactly what we’d expect from our troublesome species.
