"The Expanse" - New near-future sci-fi TV

Anyone know when S1 is out on DVD?

The books are way better but the few eps I watched are superb. I wonder who they'll get to play Bobbi.
 
It's out in the USA already so you can import it if you have a region-free player.
The bluray is region-free.

Bobbie will be played by Frankie Adams, a NZ actor

Lol I only just noticed this thread the day before yesterday - the slight pitfall perhaps on not having a TV I was previously unaware of it being done as a series. Read all the books, really enjoyed them. After finding this went looking in the usual *cough* places for the series. Pleasantly surprised. :)
 
Finished s1 and greatly enjoyed it ... but I have to agree a *little* about somehow not being quite motivated enough to care passionately about the destinies of these various misfits barrelling through the void. Love the worldbuilding, the look, the attention to social not mechanical factors alone - the patois, the hints at varying social codes and ethics among Belters / Earthers / Martians, even the broad implications about inequality and economics and so forth. I still don't fully understand wtf's going on - I've got a few reservations about the use of female nudity as set-dressing and the assumption that religious faith would still be a given for most people - but I'll definitely be watching s2 and would recommend s1 to anyone with a brain and a taste for the alien.
 
Just binged the first series. Really enjoyed it and pleasantly surprised to realise I have read a couple of the books.

S2 starts in 20 days, 2 hours and 53 minutes ;)
 
It's not on UK Netflix until all the episode have aired in the states :mad:
I will feel zero guilt stealing it then.
 
yeah three is up now, got in in the queue. The opening two eps were practically a film (i downloaded them as one whole prog, dunno if thats how it aired) much like trabuquera I'm still not 100% sure where its going but the journey is proving more than worth it. Its ages since I've seen TV space opera get it so right. BSG was the last I think

Yeah I made the mistake of downloading episode two a few times thinking it would be the next bit, but like you I'd downloaded the premiere which is actually episodes one and two together, so settling down to watch three now. :) Thanks again to Crispy for that torrent site link, no frills, popups etc, let's hope it lasts awhile. :)
