I'd like an up to the budget and cinematography, it feels like a ScyFy original, but the politics, factions, overall drama and style is engaging. I like all the characters I've met so far, although I have minor issues with the way Episode 1 ended. "She's gone, they nuked her. Oh no." was so flat and cringe.

I hear Jared Harris is a character later in the series. Can't wait.

Episode 6.

I'm getting a bit tired of the radio transmission thing. It seems to be how virtually all the drama gets kicked off, and it's too boring of a metaphor for news media. The series is good, though. Mars is my favorite aspect of all the factions atm besides Jared Harris. He crushes it.

those get bigger and better basically with every season

Which season of them is considered the best? I know there's a standout but I can't remember if it's 2 or 3.

This is based on a book series? I know what I'm ordering next.

This. 4 is cinema quality IMO

And if you like season 1 that's good news, because 1 is probably the weakest season

it is, and now's a pretty good time to start. 8 books out now, 1 left. no date on it yet, but it should be less than a year away. plus a bunch of short stories that they've said will be collected into a 10th book sometime after book 9.

i like every season for different reasons. a lot of people say that season 1 is the weakest, but tbh i really love the space-noir aspect of it (which kinda bleeds into about half of season 2). as the show goes on and plotlines develop, that vibes gets significantly reduced, and i've sorely missed it ever since. but it develops other vibes in its place which are satisfying as well. and the political intrigue is basically always omnipresent, and i love that. so i dunno, imo every season is good in its own way.

You mean the blade runner vibes with the cop? Not really a fan. I think the series is best at political intrigue and weakest at the cop stuff, so much of it feels very rushed and convenient with Miller figuring out the case and not dying (despite being a "joke" in the area) as it goes on. As much as I like him, he reminds me of a cop Tom Waits, he's least essential atm at least up to s01e07
