No other sci-fi show is operating on this level, besides possibly the Cold War-era NASA drama For All Mankind. Rooted in quasi-realistic science, the action scenes feel thrillingly authentic. The Expanse has really upped the ante over the last few seasons, juggling longform character arcs with logistical drama about life in space. Earth’s Chrisjen Avasarala (an irreplaceable presence in sci-fi television) must adopt new tactics to fight back, while the crew of the Rocinante attempt to track Inaros down. After launching a devastating bombing campaign against Earth, he’s shifted the balance of power in the solar system. Tapping into the Belters’ desire to rebel against Earth and Mars, you understand how Inaros can sway normal people into joining his violent, extremist cult. However, he also wields a compelling sense of power and decisiveness, which is precisely what his followers crave. He’s ruthless, erratic, and an abusive father to boot. Inaros isn’t charming, sympathetic, or loyal. This guy really makes you examine what the term “charismatic leader” actually means. Picking up where season 5 left off, Earth, Mars, and the Rocinante crew have joined forces against the show’s most hateable villain: Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander). Taking place on one of the new colony planets, this subplot could act as a backdoor pilot for a new show, and while it’s an interesting concept, it takes time away from The Expanse‘s main cast. Six episodes just isn’t enough time to wind up every storyline, and on top of this, a few minutes of each episode are dedicated to introducing a brand new setting. This is both a welcome possibility and slightly frustrating in the context of season 6. It’s a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to the show – but thanks to the shortened six-episode season, the pacing is a little off.Īmazon is seemingly to blame for this truncated episode order, but The Expanse‘s production company is open to telling more stories in the same universe. As Marco Inaros continues to attack, the main cast of ‘The Expanse’ must join forces to save humankind from catastrophe.
