That I watched it all the way through? The Expanse.

I watched the first season and then stopped? Stranger Things.

Have no interest in? Game of Thrones

Watching just the first season of Stranger Things was probably the right way to do it. The first season is a complete story, and all the other seasons just feel like Netflix milking its success for $$$.

Other shows where you can watch the first season and stop for similar reasons: Handmaids Tale, Westworld.

Don't agree for HT, agree for Ww

So, S1 of the expanse was my favorite season by far, mostly because I loved the introduction to the belter ethos, it set a tableau for the rest of the season which was much more action oriented.

I mostly liked season 1, except for the main character

Oh dude, I mean, that hat alone.

Also, had the right amount of mother-fucking avasarala.

I loved hat dude but he's not the main character, I'm talking about Holden

S1 was so cool! The whole detective, noir thing I absolutely loved!
