I really hated the way exposition was handled in the first episode... it felt contrived and clumsy to me at the time. But everyone I knew who had got further into it was just raving about it so one night when I had nothing better to do I gave it another shot. One thing I came to love about it was that it didn't take itself too seriously, even as it was building this huge, diverse world/universe and fleshing out pretty complex characters.
There was also Shepard (Mass Effect) and E. Buck (Halo 3 ODST)
They really lean into her emoting to the point of scenery chewing at times. I mean ... they put her in a pretty desperate situation so I see what they were aiming for.
Yeah, she quickly became an annoyance for me.
That's unfortunate, I think it might be some of the best sci-fi ever (especially on the small screen). It's similar to Breaking Bad in the sense that it takes a good few episodes to get going.
I can’t really pinpoint it honestly, at a certain point it just clicks. I’ve convinced a couple of people to watch it and they felt the same as you do then ended up hooked.
I really do think this is one of the best sci-fi series ever committed to screen. But it didn't grab me at first. The characters took some time to develop into 'people', the FX in the early seasons looked a little low budget, and I didn't love the hard-boiled detective trope.
Same, although I wouldn't rate it as high as The Expanse.
