I just started finally watching this, what part made Musk mad?

The negative portrayal of tech CEOs and the weird creepy cult compounds they create for theit employees.

Musk was angry after seeing the pilot episode sy Redwood City since he said weird abusive startup owners would never be able to find success.


Also the Expanse owns, instead of Final Frontier you have rich people being horrible in space and the production values are top notch.

Incorporated is also good since it takes places in post global warming apocalyptic America in which corporation in cyberpunk style take over the whole country

get that OUT of my face posted:

most people in the tech industry love Silicon Valley. Google started off a presentation with Martin Starr and Kumail Nanjiani as their characters on the show. Musk is just a whiner

They didn't take too nicely to getting trolled by TJ Miller at the Tech Crunch awards especially his line on how SF will never be loved like LA.


Also for Trump supporters the best show is Colony since it has big beautiful wall

Aliens invade and take over the earth, getting collaborators to run what's left of the government. Good since a good amount of the show
is about collaboration and even the "good" guys have shades of grey for how far they are willing to go for resistance.

Kill Joys is good too if you prefer a more pulpy sci fiction show

Was the first episode/pilot a particularly low point for the show, then? I thought it was cheeseball soap opera tier acting, with off-the-rack costuming and a lovely SyFy CGI gloss.

Star Trek TNG looked more lived-in.

It gets better and had standard exposition trap with most of the 1st setting up the world.

2nd season has been pretty much flawless

I'm have to give it another shot, then.

The whole first season is up on Amazon prime.

I am sure I am not saying anything new by saying that The Expanse is excellent (I'm on episode 5 or so). But goddamn that one dude looks distractingly like Aaron Douglas from Battlestar Galactica.

All the very sad TVIV nerds are melting down over book spoilers, I guess the Game of Thrones in space comparison is really accurate.

It took me most of the first season to get over the likeness. That dude is really good at playing a scary violent dude though.

Also The Expanse continues to own in the second season but now I've caught up with it and watching an episode a week is gonna suck.

the bet payoff scene was amazing
