I've thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a wonderfully constructed world and they're doing justice to the complex characters too.
- vvanders 11y agoYeah, it just feels like a show that's firing well on all cylinders. Sets, atmosphere, acting all solid. Can't wait to see where they take it.
- jhallenworld 11y agoThe show inspired me to buy the books- I've just finished the first. Hopefully the ratings will be high enough for it to remain funded. I like the general lack of magic (hyperspace, etc), for example spinning Ceres for gravity.

- scrumper 11y agoThat was interesting, and a surprising result. Thanks for sharing. There is a bit of magic: the Epstein Drive, allowing for 1G continuous acceleration 'torch ships'. IIRC if they're gone I don't think it breaks the plot much, but without them it's hard to imagine that there'd be quite such a thriving solar system society; it'd be much less interconnected and a much smaller economy without the ability to support large-scale stations by shipping large volumes of necessary supplies (e.g. ice) around easily.
