But Battlestar Galactica was hard to resist. The rest of the options don't even come close.
I'm hoping The Expanse will be the new #1 in 10 years, but I don't really know how they can do it. I watched the first season, didn't really know what was going on, then read Leviathan Wakes, then binged the first season, and it worked.

Too much political fiction in The Expanse, not enough science fiction. Earth-and-Luna is like England-and-Wales, I get it already, for God's sake. Earth is acting imperial like the British, I get it already, for God's sake. OPA are IRA, I get it already, for God's sake. Not even subtle with the obvious political metaphor.
Huh. I read Earth-and-Luna as the New England plus the Midwest, the Belters as the South, and Mars as California (based on how many teeth those different groups have).
