Amazon has financed the Expanse. That's it. The evil fuckers have zero credit to the quality of the TV adaptation. It was two seasons at SyFy - then, sadly but unsurprisingly, SyFy was unable to turn it into a source of revenue (Hi Firefly :( ) and amazon financed it because the shitbucket in chief at amazon is an Expanse fan.

I think it was 3 seasons at syfy.

There is a bit of a shift between season 3 and 4.

indeed - you are correct. I thought it was 3 for a long time then somewhere mistakenly picked up that the transition happened after season 2. My bad.

Then why did it get so much worse after it shifted to Amazon? The first three seasons are a good adaptation, the next three spiral and make some really bad changes to the text of the books. I recommend that new viewers only watch enough to get hooked and then go read the books.

I read the books and I think both tell a good story in their own right. What was it that annoyed you so much about the TV adaptation? The only thing I kind of disliked was
