The TV show starts out with an ice hauler crew getting ice and then getting blown up. The universe this show was set up in is our solar system 100 years in the future. The solar system is separated into three political zones, Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt. The inner planets use the people of the outer zone for resources and those in the asteroid belt are feeling used and rebellious. As space ships start getting destroyed there is a push to find out what is going on to prevent a war show more between Earth and Mars.

The show combines a buddy cop show, space odyssey, and a political intrigue show. I find the realism about the physics of space and how the human body reacts to it both scary and refreshing. And the best thing about any TV show, it makes you want to watch the next episode. show less

Cowboys fight aliens.

The writing committee tried pretty hard to fuck this up, but it still manages to be fun. It's a great cast (even though none of them are acting particularly well here, they're still a great cast). And they go for a classic western style, which is nice in itself, but also manages to make the same old alien invasion crap seem somewhat less identical to every "science fiction" movie from the last ten years. It would have been nice, though, if they'd managed to do anything show more at all original.

Twisty series set 200 years in the future where humanity has colonised the solar system. There are three major forces at work, the Martians, the Earthers and the Belters. A hardened detective is investigating a missing woman, a case that's a sideline to his usual work. This drags him into a mystery and some so-called terrorists who have their own motives. Then you have a rogue crew who have ended up with a ship and they're trying to find out what happened to their original ship that was show more blown up and blamed on someone who didn't do it.

It looks like there are wheels within wheels and complex and messy there are wheels within wheels and a complex world that has a lot of things going on in it.

I'm curious to know what's going to happen next and to compare the books. show less

People try to survive in a dystopian near future.

So very intense. An amazing movie in almost every respect. And it gets better every time I see it.
