    I ferl you on The Expanse but I don’t think anyone would have liked it if they’d adapted the last 2 books.

    Because of the time jump everyone’s middle aged and interested in meetings and things, Amos isn’t himself, and people that fans of the show were wondering about (eg Naomi’s son Filip) are just not in it, neither is Avasarala.

      And Avasarala was understandably a lot older. So they would have had to get another actress (blasphemy) or do some weird attempt to make her look very old.

      Great books and I highly recommend them. I felt it was a good and proper ending to the series

      As involved with the show as the authors were, I could easily see them changing things if and when the show ever comes back. They and the cast have said that they are open to returning to it some day. I could easily see Amazon or another streamer giving it a limited series run, but it needs to cool off a bit.
