It's based on the book, by Bernard Cornwell, which is the first of the Saxon Chronicles series. It's about a Saxon who is captured by and raised by Danes. It has good production values and recreates the period better than the Vikings series, but set about 60 years after. Vikings seems to coalesce about 60 to 100 years of history, cherry picking certain events for their series, which leads to an incoherent plot, but this series should do better if it stays as faithful to the books as the different format allows. I highly recommend this. If anyone liked the Sharpe series then they should like this, it is by the same author.

Just watched the first episode of The Expanse, and it has the potential to be the best space sci fi TV show ever made.
I've seen 7 episodes I think. Granted, it started very strong and its very well made.
Its still is good, but has a few problems here and there and goes into some directions I found unnecessary so far, drops other directions I was interested in more.
I still can't really say where its going to lead, which is a good thing basically, but it can also mean its going to be tangled up in shit. So don't be too euphoric.
The potential is still there though, it might all come together nicely. I enjoy it and will keep watching.
I think its a show you better binge and pay close attention to though. Not too much exposition happening.
Its definitely a pearl given recent sci-fi-shows though.
Been waiting on that for what feels like forever. Everything Bob Odenkirk touches is gold in my book. Including your pic over there.
