I have THE EXPANSE on order. ANy thoughts? Great show -- ..i). REALLY, THOR!? Scavenged from parts of BLADE RUNNER, DEEP SPACE NINE, OUTLAND, AVATAR, THE 100,,,, AND...... a totally incomprehensible storyline. But hey, glad you like it, my friend brm

....Of course, it has a lot of references to other 'science fiction concepts' in film and TV, but so does ALL of science fiction at any given time. In fact, that's part of the appeal. yeah, but even the ACTORS? I doubt its a coincidence that the lead, Holden, looks an awful lot like Kit Harrington from GAME OF THRONES. And, his Marine sidekick (another clichéd character) looks just like Matt Damon with a beard! Can you name one element of this show that is original? Brm ps....SNOWPIERCER, ELYSIUM, ALIEN .... lol!

Original, schmoriginal.... I'm more interested in how they combine references and get me involved in their particular universe. SO, which characters did you find compelling? The only one for me was the female UN Undersecretary.. Its like she came from another, better show! bruce

I managed to get through 6 episodes of PERSONS UNKNOWN over the course of many months. Even if it just lasted 13 episodes, I'm jumping ship. What a sloggish affair! It's from 2010, but felt like something cheap from the mid 90s. A shame, because the premise is cool. Entering summer season soon, without many new shows to look forward to, nor start-up of new seasons. Still have a couple more DR WHO, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD and TWIN PEAKS (and I have the whole new 12 MONKEYS season to watch, even if I feel that's a very sluggish show too -- it doesn't exactly draw me back for another episode), but other than that, it's skimpy. So I guess I need to pick a new one from the list...
